Also, crucial step taken toward a new Fox Hill

Hello, Neighbors!

As expected the Fox Hill School building community voted last night to send their preferred schematic report (PSR) to the Massachusetts School Building Authority, the state agency that provides reimbursements for selected projects to renovate or construct new school buildings.

A clerical error was discovered in the spreadsheets that were used long ago to project total costs, but it was found to affect all new options proportionally. (You might remember that the renovation and renovation-addition options were taken off the table relatively early in the process.) The impact to taxpayers was negligible, keeping the total annual increase in property taxes for the median home to about $200.

Once the PSR is submitted, the MSBA is expected to approve it at an upcoming meeting, and then the design team will get to work creating a building schematic for state approval; this will take the process into the summer.
