Capital Project Update: Columbia Roof Ahead of Schedule, Construction of Goff Athletic Fields Begins in September 2025

The East Greenbush CSD’s “Building a Bright Future” Capital Project is off to a flying start, with significant progress already being made and key components moving ahead of schedule. Phase 1A, which includes replacement of the Columbia High School roof and the outdoor tennis courts and basketball courts, began in April. The roofing work is ahead of schedule and should be completed this fall rather than next year as originally planned. The tennis courts and basketball courts are on track for an August opening, just in time for the start of the 2025-26 school year.
