Mansfield HS Repairs More Expensive Than Expected

MANSFIELD, MA — More money than expected will be needed to repair the rear wall at Mansfield High School.

A Special Town Meeting will be held in the fall, where voters will be asked to approve an extra $600,000 for the repairs. The original estimate was $1.3 million, but an improving economy and rising costs pushed the figure up to $1.9 million, according to the Sun Chronicle.

About half the cost of the project will be reimbursed by the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

The selectmen and school committee are expected to write letters of support.
