The following Tuesday, Warren voters will weigh in on the plan to build a new 12,100-square-foot town garage at a site on Vaughn Brown Road with a bond set at $9.67 million. That includes the contingency fees. If voters approve the bond next week, the project will go out for bid next winter and town road crews will do what site work they can in-between plowing, and other regular road tasks. Once the new facility is built and operational, the town will consider future uses for the current town garage site on School Road in the village.
Here is the warning for the town garage vote:
“Shall general obligation bonds of the town of Warren in an amount not to exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000), subject to reduction from the receipt of available state and federal grants-in-aid, be issued for the purpose of replacing and constructing municipal improvements, namely replacement of the town of Warren's Municipal Garage?”
CAREER CENTER
The Valley/Waterbury-wide vote on the Central Vermont Career Center’s new facility will be co-mingled with the other school districts that send students to the career center.
Member districts: Barre Unified Union School District, Cabot, Harwood Unified Union School District, Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools, Twinfield, Washington Central Unified Union School District.
Here is the warning for the career center project:
“Article I: The Central Vermont Career Center School Board proposes to incur bonded indebtedness for the purpose of building a new technical center at the estimated total project cost of $149,000,000. The School Construction Aid Program is currently under suspension by the Vermont State Legislature. Therefore, 100% of the project shall be built at the school district's cost without State participation. State funds may not be available at the time this project is otherwise eligible to receive State school construction aid. The district is responsible for all costs incurred in connection with any borrowing done in anticipation of State school construction aid. Shall bonds of the Central Vermont Career Center School District in an amount not to exceed $149,000,000, be issued for the purpose of building a new technical center?”
