Stamford officials hope to put Westhill project on fast track

Officials have come to the conclusion that a Westhill renovation or replacement is a necessity, Mayor David Martin said this week during a meeting of the Long Term Facilities Committee. Last year, a proposal was presented to the Board of Representatives to have a private developer rebuild five schools — Toquam, Hart and Roxbury elementary schools, Cloonan Middle School and Westhill. But the Board of Representatives rejected the funding to develop that plan. As officials have looked at different scenarios for rebuilding or renovating schools across the district, doing a project at Westhill — estimated to cost $125 million — has been a constant. Finding funding to do all three projects will be a major challenge for the city. Martin said Sandy Dennies, director of administration, set a safe debt limit of $40 million a year.
