Residents approved all five referendum questions for public works projects totaling more than $12 million on Tuesday, including road work, a new pump station and a new public works building. The school improvements at Plainville High School include replacing the emergency generator, upkeep to the pool and replacing the pool room heater, replacing the rooftop units over the technology education classrooms, and rehabbing the press box at Tinty Field. The school funds will also go towards repointing brick at Toffolon and Linden Schools. The $1 million for town improvements include replacing the HVAC systems at the Plainville Public Library, Plainville Senior Center and Plainville Fire House – as well as replacing the library roof. The pump station replacement is expected to be paid by a $3.18 million state loan, to be repaid over a 20-year term at an interest rate of 2% for this project. Wazorko said work will begin “sooner than later.” The road improvements will likely come next year after this year’s roadwork wraps up. He said there may need to be a few more logistics discussed for the new public works building, but that project will also move forward now.
