Middletown officials considering $54.6 million bond to upgrade 100-year-old school, 911 center

A Common Council presentation later this month will outline two bond questions proposed for the November ballot totaling $54.6 million. The circa 1924 Macdonough Elementary School on Spring Street is in “significant” need of upgrades, Mayor Ben Florsheim said at Monday’s Council meeting. Officials are considering a $45 million renovation and expansion at the facility on the existing property. Over the course of construction, estimated to take between 18 months to two years, Nocera said, the vacant former Keigwin Middle School, next to the high school, will serve primary grade students. Across town, the tiny, one-room emergency dispatch center at the Cross Street fire station will be entirely rebuilt and relocated to the Mile Lane emergency operations facility for a cost of $9.6 million, said Nocera, a member of the Public Safety Telecommunications Commission.
