Torrington school board members raise concerns over proposed $159.8M high school project

The Board of Education has a week until it files a grant application to the state Department of Education regarding the $159.8 million Torrington High School building project proposal. The review of the education specifications came after Mayor Elinor C. Carbone last Monday advanced the project to referendum, which is scheduled to appear on the presidential election ballot on Nov. 3. School board member Jess Richardson explained the baseball and softball programs may face a tricky situation if forced to find fields off campus. If approved in November, the project would cost the city $74.5 million, while the state would cover 62.5% of the $159.8 million total cost through an $85 million reimbursement.
