Holley receives approval from SED for capital project

Holley Central School District has recently been notified that the Capital Project Phase III was approved by the State Education Department (SED). The district is working with SEI Design and Turner Construction on the third and final phase of the Capital Project.

Holley voters approved the third phase of the district’s Capital Project on December 9 in a vote of 175-72. The Phase III portion of the project encompasses replacement of rooftop HVAC units, replacement of radiators and water pumps, repairs around windows and doors to prevent leaking, replacement of flooring, installation of new tennis courts and playgrounds, and construction of a bus loop in the front of the elementary school to separate bus from vehicle traffic.

Once this project is complete, the district will have completed almost $40 million of capital construction work with zero tax impact, according to district officials. That’s an accomplishment Holley District Superintendent Robert D’Angelo is very proud of. “Our physical plant will become the most modern and up-to-date of any school district in the area,” he said.

The Capital Project Phase III work is projected to begin in the summer of 2015 and will end during the 2016-17 school year. The replacement and upgrade of equipment and machinery at Holley will enable the district to become more energy efficient and save money on utility costs, according to the district.
