The second Tuesday in December doesn’t come to the top of mind as a voting day, except if you’re looking to pass a referendum on a capital spending plan or running for fire district commissioner in Mohegan Lake. Despite low voter turnout for Tuesday’s Peekskill City School District capital referendum, the plan passed with 88 percent of votes cast, some 379 people. Just 46 people cast a ‘no’ vote on the first proposition, in unofficial results. The second proposition for an energy performance contract received 92 percent of the votes cast, 344, to 30 no’s.
In the next months, architects will begin designing and requests for proposals (bids) will go out to contractors. Residents should expect to see construction in school buildings by May of 2025 with projects completed in November of 2026.
