With Norwalk High School and SoNo School under construction, Common Council authorizes $200M+

For the high school, the council approved a supplemental appropriation of $189 million to have the full $239 million project cost authorized. The council also issued $15 million in general obligation bonds as “cash on hand” for the project, according to Chief Financial Officer Jared Schmitt. The state plans to reimburse the city for 80 percent of the cost of the high school, meaning taxpayers are responsible for $47.8 million, but the city still needed to authorize spending for the full amount. Additionally, the council moved $19 million from the South Norwalk School project to the high school. The South Norwalk School is slated for completion in August 2025 and the new Norwalk High School should welcome its first class two years later.
