Newington taxpayers will see their taxes increase by an average of $75 annually if the planned renovation of Anna Reynolds School moves forward. The project cost has been estimated at $35.5 million, but reimbursement from the state of Connecticut through a school building grant program is expected to bring the town’s projected cost to about $17.75 million. The Anna Reynolds Project Building Committee has continued its efforts, planning construction and working with firm Colliers International on the grant application, which was submitted to the State June 26. JCJ Architecture is conducting an independent review of the facility as well, to ensure it qualifies for maximum reimbursement as a renovate-as-new project.
