By a vote of 256 to 55, on Tuesday, Walton Central School District voters gave the green light to a capital project according to a press release from school officials. With a total cost of $8,214,000, the project covers needed repairs to the district’s buildings and grounds, including replacing aging roofing, and a new parking lot at the middle/high school; as well as flood mitigation at Townsend Elementary. The project which will take place over two years, also includes work on the infrastructure of the buildings, as well as upgrades for increased energy savings.
