Board, township to study converting Hillcrest Elementary into community recreation facility
Summary
The West Milford Board of Education and Township agreed to jointly explore a feasibility study for converting the former Hillcrest Elementary School into a recreational facility with a potential pool and multiuse gym; the study will assess Highlands restrictions, permitted size and funding options.
The West Milford Township Board of Education said Tuesday it will jointly explore with the township the feasibility of converting the former Hillcrest Elementary School into a recreational facility that could include a swimming pool and multiuse gymnasium.
Board president read a joint statement saying the feasibility study will examine permitted facility size under Highlands restrictions, the cost of a project, and whether the new facility would be jointly operated or owned by a single entity. The statement said funding sources such as grant funding will be considered after the feasibility study is complete.
The board characterized the action as a study to determine possibilities rather than a commitment to build. Members took no formal funding action; administration said the study will identify constraints and likely costs and that any funding decisions would follow completion of the feasibility analysis.
Next steps: the district and township will proceed with a feasibility study; no construction or funding decision was announced at the meeting.
