Capital Project Vote Information

Capital project vote to be held Oct. 27

On Wednesday, Oct. 27, voters in the Salmon River Central School District will decide on a $7.4 million capital improvement project that prioritizes student and community health and wellness. The vote will take place from noon to 8 p.m. in the boardroom at Salmon River Central School. Voters will enter the building through Door 4.

There is no tax increase associated with the project. The projects would be funded by state aid and the district’s capital reserve fund.

If the absentee ballot is to be mailed to the voter, the application must be submitted at least seven days prior to the vote (by Wednesday, Oct. 20). If the absentee ballot is to be picked up by the voter in person, applications will be accepted until Oct. 26.
