The proposed upgrades and renovations focus on energy efficiency and safety. The passage of this referendum will NOT raise taxes. The passage of this referendum WILL result in the district receiving state aid to cover up to 40% of project costs. Learn more at www.nhvweb.net/ referendum-2022/. Projects in Referendum Question at North Hunterdon High School (visit website above to see all projects at both high schools): Focus on Energy Efficiency: • HVAC Improvements - Upgrades to HVAC units servicing the 150s, 240s, 250s classroom wings and the "O" level classrooms. HVAC units are beyond their useful life expectancy and will be replaced with high efficiency equipment providing fresh air ventilation, improved air filtration, heating and cooling for classrooms. Focus on Safety: • Stair Door Replacement - Replacement of interior stair doors with new fire rated and barrier-free compliant doors and hardware. • Locker Room Renovation - Renovation of the boys' locker room, PE teacher offices and coaches' locker room by Gold Gym will include new plumbing fixtures, lockers, benches, flooring, and lighting, as well as HVAC upgrades. Upgrades will be ADA-compliant. Boys locker room by gold gym is one of the most used and oldest locker rooms. Projected Cost of Projects = $6.5 million Cost to Taxpayers = $0 (Voter approval will result in up to 40% of the costs being covered by state aid. Existing funds in capital reserve account will cover remaining costs, with Board approval, resulting in no increase to taxpayers.) "My favorite color is October." ~ Unknown
