MSBA Board Shifts Greylock School Project into Funding Phase

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The $65 million Greylock Elementary School project has moved another step forward with the Massachusetts School Building Authority's vote to enter into a funding agreement.
 
The MSBA Board of Directors, meeting remotely on Wednesday morning, unanimously authorized the executive director to enter into budget and funding agreements for facilities grants totaling $177,280,778 for North Adams, Agawam and Berkley.
 
The estimated cost for a new Greylock School is $65,362,859 with a maximum grant estimated at $41,557,218. This final figure was voted by the School Building Committee last week. 
 
This agreement is dependent on the local authorization of borrowing within the next 120 days. 
 
"We are very excited to have this opportunity for the city of North Adams but especially for our greatest greatest asset of our future — our students," said Mayor Jennifer Macksey. "As we develop this project, we wanted to be sure that we were true to our educational vision, the facility itself and that both would suit our educational needs for the next 30 years and beyond. We are confident that that project does that and then some. ...
 
"We have really tried to be thoughtful in our design as we launch not only for a successful path with MSBA but as successful paths for the educational value of the city of North Adams. Again, our focus has been staying true to our educational vision, but also to produce a project that is financially feasible to our community."
 
Key to the approval was the School Building Committee's vote last week to include a geothermal system into the scope of design. The system estimated at $2.7 million had been discussed previously; some committee members questioned the cost, the lifespan and ability for it to be maintained in the future.
