New Angier School Comes in On Budget

Newton officials got the first look at what the new Angier School will look like, and got the good news that the project came in on budget, according to a report in the Boson Globe.

The three-story school in Waban will have nearly 75,000 square feet of space. It replaces one built in 1919, will cost $37.5 million. Some of the cost will be paid for by a tax increase approved by city voters in March and about $10 million will come from the state, according to the Globe report.

Newton school officials hope to sign a project agreement with the Massachusetts School Building Authority this fall, start construction in summer 2014 and be completed by fall 2016.
