HFCS Board Scopes Building Project

By

by Alex Brooks
The Hoosick Falls School Board held a workshop meeting September 27 to consider elements of a possible capital project. A presentation was offered by architects from the firm of Clark Patterson Lee. Their firm did a “building condition survey” for the District about a year ago, an evaluation required by the State Education Department every five years. They have built on the findings in that report to put together a proposed capital project. This initial presentation includes everything that the District might like to get done, with the idea that the District will prioritize and choose which projects to move forward with as they learn more about building needs and costs.

There was a compromise, and the public was allowed to speak just prior to the vote.
