Bungay School Referendum In Seymour Is Thursday, Oct. 9

SEYMOUR — A referendum is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 9 on whether to build a new Bungay School at 35 Bungay Road.

The polling place is the Seymour Community Center, 20 Pine St.

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The question on the ballot is as follows, according to a legal notice published Sept. 3. in a Waterbury newspaper:

“Shall the Town of Seymour appropriate $60,000,000 for the construction of a new Bungay Elementary School and finance the appropriation by issuing the town’s bonds or notes in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000?”

The question is answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote.

Construction is estimated at $60 million, but town officials said $20 million will be paid from the town because of state reimbursement.
