The project building committee hired Colliers International, which will now be analyzing the building’s needs and formulating a cost for the school’s reconstruction. Newington Town Council has also shown its support, voting unanimously at its most recent meeting to appropriate $50,000 to the committee for the construction manager’s selection. In addition to a failing roof, the building needs new electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, infrastructure and other work. Once a firm cost estimate has been determined, a grant application will be submitted to the state and the bonding will go to voters for approval in a referendum. The committee’s goal is to have the referendum take place this coming fall, at the same time as the Presidential Election.
