When I saw the headline about Wellesley building a new highschool, I thought it was the same case. But it's not. They're building a new one to replace the existing highschool.
Wellesley voters yesterday overwhelmingly approved an $86.6 million debt exclusion to fund a $130 million new high school, the largest capital project in the town's history.
Babson said the project would move forward "right away," with a permit hearing tomorrow before the town's Zoning Board of Appeals. Babson said the ground-breaking could start as early as March 2010 and construction could be complete in late 2012.
So what's going to happen to the old highschool? I hope the land gets put to good use. Also, if I remember correctly, Newton is building a new school right now and it's costing over $200mm. $130 million might not be enough.
