Arkport school district residents approve capital improvement project second phase
Corning Leader reprint: Dec 16, 2019 Arkport Central school district residents recently voted to authorize the second of three planned phases of an ongoing capital improvement initiative for the 1936 school building.Voters approved the $10.7 million project, 122 ”yes” votes to 75 ”no” votes.
There are no additional local taxes associated with the proposed $10.7 million project. District officials estimate 87% of the project would be paid for with state building aid. The remaining local share would be paid for with a combination of capital reserve funds ($1 million) and district debt replacement, meaning there would be zero additional local taxes for district residents. In 2022, Arkport anticipates paying off some debt incurred from 2008 and 2016 capital projects.
The proposed second phase includes replacing the 16-year-old steam boilers and piping with a new, high-efficiency hot water system; renovating the small gymnasium and fitness center; installing a new, secure main entrance; upgrading classrooms, offices and the nurse’s suite; renovating the bus garage and reconstructing the main driveway.
Construction would begin in spring 2021 and be completed in spring 2022.
