Mattituck School District Looks to Replace 40-Year-Old Track
Voters asked to approve $925,000 bond for the project.
The Mattituck School District says it needs a new track and to build it, it needs voters to support the plan.
On Oct. 29, the Mattituck District is asking voters to approve a 15-year bond not to exceed $925,000 to rebuild its 40-year-old track, which has fallen in disrepair.
According to the new district, if the bond is approved, the new track will be built over the existing cinder track. The new 6-lane polyflex track surface, the district said, will meet all high school track standards.
The district estimates that track will take three months to build with construction starting in 2014.
Tax Increase Break-Down:
• Your taxes would rise $8 per year for 15 years, if your house has a market value of $400,000.
• Your taxes would rise $9 per year for 15 years, if your house has a market value of $500,000.
• Your taxes would rise about $12 per year for 15 years, if your house has a market value of $650,000.
Voting will take place on Oct. 29 in the Junior-Senior High School gym between 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
