The East Greenbush Central School District is developing a new Capital Project that would improve facilities and grounds at all seven schools. The proposed project includes items such as replacement of HVAC systems for improved indoor air quality and adding air conditioning throughout all five elementary schools, classroom additions at elementary schools to accommodate pre-k and increasing enrollment, library renovations in all schools, new playgrounds, athletic field improvements, upgrades to sidewalks and parking lots, and infrastructure improvements at all schools.
The estimated cost for the proposed project is $116 million, but due to state building aid and expiring debt, there would be no additional impact to local taxpayers. It is estimated that the state will reimburse the district approximately 72% of eligible costs for this project ensuring no additional tax burden for district residents.
Feedback regarding the Capital Project will be solicited at future Board of Education meetings and community forums.
Commencement of the project, if approved by voters, is estimated to begin in 2025 and would include multiple phases.
