West Genesee voters approve school repairs, golf course purchase

Camillus, N.Y. — West Genesee Central School District voters approved two ballot referendums Monday, giving the green light to millions of dollars in school repairs and the purchase of a nearby golf course.

Voters approved the repairs proposition 64% to 36%, or 2,100 votes to 1,177. They approved the golf course acquisition by a narrower margin — 53% to 47%, or 1,737 votes to 1,552.

The $43.5 million in repairs will mostly be concentrated at West Genesee High School and Camillus Middle School. They include reconstructing the high school’s lower stadium and replacing a field scoreboard, along with improvements to the roof, kitchen and flooring. The public address system, chiller, kitchen wall and floor, lighting control and emergency lights at the middle school will all be replaced.
