State votes to fund part of new Holyoke middle school project
HOLYOKE, MA (WGGB/WSHM) – The Massachusetts School Building Authority has agreed to pay for a portion of the costs of building a new middle school in Holyoke, which clears the way for the project to move forward.
It was the final approval that Holyoke needed in order to build a new middle school on the site where the William R. Peck School now stands.
MSBA has agreed to reimburse $46 million of the cost, which leaves the city of Holyoke responsible for the remaining $40 million.
When it opens in fall or winter 2025, the new middle school will serve approximately 550 students in grades six through eight.
