Bridgehampton votes in favor of $24.7M school expansion bond

The 86-year-old Bridgehampton School will get its makeover after all. On Tuesday, 167 Bridgehampton voters — or 55 percent of the total vote — cast their ballots in support of the $24.7 million bond that would fund the renovation and 35,000-square-foot expansion of the school. It’s the only local school that has not had major capital improvements since it was built in 1930, according to the East Hampton Star. “This is something the students need and deserve and I’m glad the community recognized that,” school superintendent Lois Favre said after the voting results were announced Tuesday night. [EHS]
