$16 million addition to KMS approved

A $16.5 million project to add an addition to Killing Memorial School – ending the use of portable classrooms – is moving forward after a near-unanimous vote by the Killingly Town Council. The project – which will add 18,950 square feet of space – will cost the town $7.5 million, and the state picking up $9 million. Under the current timetable, the construction is set to start in the summer of 2021 and will last for 16 to 18 months, wrapping up in January 2023. Anderson said that delaying the project might allow it to be staggered so it came after the construction of NTE’s Killingly Power Center, which could allow local labor to have consistent employment, moving on to the school project once they had finished the first one. But Calorio said staggering the projects wouldn’t necessarily ensure local labor was able to have consistent work.
