Voters in the town of Greece headed to the polls Tuesday to vote on whether to rebui;d, remodel and revitalize its school district.
A package of capital projects known as "Reimagine Greece" includes athletic facility upgrades, repairs and renovations to all schools and a new shared transportation and security services facility.
The project has a price tag of over $107 million, but it doesn't mean an increase in school taxes, according to Greece Schools Superintendent Kathleen Graupman.
"There'll be no tax impact to voters because of this. So this is a project that has been well thought out in terms of we've put money away and saved money into our capital reserve fund," she said. "We know that we get a certain amount of state aid funding on the project. So we've been able to do this in a way that isn't going to impact people financially, either."
Graupman adds it's important that people vote today.
"I know sometimes people think it's a no-brainer, there's no tax impact, you know people will vote. I think that's also the danger. So I just want to make sure people realize we need everybody, we want everybody to vote, because we want to know that your voice has been heard," she said.
Voters can visit the Greece Central School District website or call 936-2000 for more information on the project and a list of polling sites.
Polls are open until 9pm on Tuesday.
