Warwick district voters approve Capital Project

Warwick Valley Central School District residents approved a $10.8 million capital project today to make repairs and improvements at each of the district’s four schools.

Voters OK’d the project with a tally of 582 to 160.

Note – Preliminary voting results were accepted by the WVCSD Board of Education at their Mon., Dec. 11, 2017 meeting.

The capital project is designed to have no financial impact on Warwick school taxpayers by taking advantage of aid that New York State offers to encourage communities to maintain their schools.

“We’re thankful to all our residents who came out to vote. We appreciate your overwhelming support of the project,” said Warwick schools Superintendent Dr. David Leach. “New York State aid, along with the funds we’ve set aside in our capital reserve, eliminates any additional costs to taxpayers for this proposed capital project.”

The work is expected to begin during the summer of 2018.
