Boces Project Gets Overwhelming Approval

Voters have approved the Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES capital project.

The measure on Tuesday passed by  a vote of 607 to 99. The $29.2 million project involves  upgrades to the main campus on Big Ridge Road in Spencerport. 

Officials say the project  will increase classroom capacity to accommodate growth in enrollment in career and technical education programs and add space for professional development for teachers and administrators from around the region.

There will also be extensive electrical, heating, air conditioning and plumbing improvements to repair and replace infrastructure that is beyond its useful life.  

Pending state approval, construction is expected to start in the summer of 2016 with completion in 2018.
