Sherman School renovation remains on budget but opening delayed to January 2027

First Selectman Don Lowe told the Board on May 28 that the Sherman School renovation project "remains on budget," but he said winter delays have pushed the student move-in timeline. "Due to winter delays, students will now move into the building after winter break in January of 2027," Lowe said.

The update was presented as a progress report; no new funding requests or votes were taken during the meeting. The board did not provide a revised budget projection at the meeting and did not announce a contractor change. The update indicates the project remains active and on the town’s capital schedule; officials said the timeline slipped because of weather-related delays.

What happens next: the board will continue to monitor progress and provide future updates; no additional action was recorded at the May 28 meeting.
