Voters Approve Cooperstown Schools $17M Capital Project
By ERIC SANTOMAURO-STENZELCOOPERSTOWN
Voters approved Cooperstown Central School District’s plan for nearly $17 million in capital project investments over the coming years in a referendum last Tuesday, December 16. District officials said there will not be a tax increase to fund the investments.
According to the district, 151 people voted yes and 22 voted no. All voters registered within the district for at least 30 days could cast a ballot.
The plan includes widespread repairs and improvements at the district’s elementary school, junior-senior high school, and bus garage. Projects range from roof replacement and playground upgrades to new library shelving and ceiling tiles. District officials said investing in the maintenance now would save money later.
