03/14/2017 12:00 AMDue to this week’s winter storm, the first public workshop on the future of Academy School has been moved from March 14 to Tuesday, March 28.
The Board of Selectmen recently approved the firm Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. (FHI) to serve as the Academy School facilitator for the meetings. The current proposed scope of work for FHI includes an online survey, up to three stakeholder meetings, and at least two larger public meetings among other services for a total proposed facilitators expense of $14,976.
The survey is currently online along with a series of answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) including the assessed value of the property, the future of the baseball fields if the whole property is developed, current cost estimates to bring the building back online, and the conditions of the deed of Daniel Hand.
First Selectman Tom Banisch said the FAQs hopefully address some concerns and will generate some new questions at the public workshop. He said the goal of the information is to honestly educate the public about Academy School.
The Academy School public workshop is Tuesday, March 28 at 7 p.m. at the Walter C. Polson Middle School Cafeteria. To read the FAQs or take the survey, visit www.madisonct.org/771/Academy-School.
