Board of Education adopts proposed Building Project plan

On October 1, the members of the Board of Education of the Goshen Central School District unanimously agreed to adopt the district’s proposed Building project.

The Building Project, which is projected at $69,949,000, calls for the expansion and renovation of facilities in all four school buildings in order to accommodate a growing student population.

“After a great deal of thought and review, multiple presentations, architectural refinements and revisions and careful consideration of the financial impact to the community, the members of the Board of Education have agreed that the district must address growth at this time,” said Superintendent Roy Reese.
