Planners are set to move an initiative forward to correct recently discovered construction errors dating back two decades at the district building that hosts city schools.

Superintendent Joseph Kardash: "We had an overwhelming positive response with 73 yes votes and 14 no's. I think that the fact that this project won't require us to raise taxes ease any community concerns.”

Kardash says engineers and planners will now prepare a proposal to the state for aid to fund the project, which is expected to be completed no later than autumn 2027.
