Voters approve $70M Wayland High School Construction

Worcester Business Journal 12/3/09: Voters approve $70M Wayland High School Construction. After nearly a decade of trying, Wayland school officials are finally getting a new, $70.8 million high school building complex in the town after the state agreed to pick up 40 percent of the tab. "That proved to be the pivotal piece," Wayland Superintendent Gary Burton said. "Without state assistance, we were unable to secure approval from the voters. I think the residents understand this time around that this is a great deal that we can take advantage of." Now, Burton said he's hoping to take advantage of a competitive bidding market for construction and get the project done on time and, hopefully, under budget. To do so, the Wayland High School Building Committee is considering beginning construction of the new two-building complex at risk, meaning construction would start on some areas of the new two-building complex while other areas are still not fully designed.
