Rockingham County holds public hearing on $12 million school debt; commissioners say vote is forthcoming
Summary
Commissioners discussed a public hearing on $12,000,000 in debt funding intended for school HVAC, roofs and other capital improvements as part of a multi-year capital plan; they said bids are within range and a vote to approve the debt is expected at an upcoming meeting.
The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners said a public hearing was held on $12,000,000 in debt funding the county plans to incur to repair school HVAC systems, replace roofs and fund other capital improvements for local school systems.
Commissioners Houston Barra and Charlie Hall said the debt package is the culmination of several years of planning and is part of a five-year capital plan that has just finished its first year. They told residents that many bids for the projects have come in within the county’s expected range.
The commissioners said a vote to approve the debt funding is scheduled for an upcoming meeting; the transcript does not record the vote or provide ordinance or financing details such as bond terms, interest rates or repayment schedules. Commissioners said work funded by the debt is expected to begin once funds are available and predicted improvements would be visible “over the next year or so.”
