Tonight the School Building Committee voted unanimously to select the Veterans Memorial Elementary School site as the final location for a new consolidated school serving 440 students from the East Gloucester Elementary and Veterans Memorial Elementary School communities.
Points raised among the Committee in favor of the Veteran's site as opposed to the Green Street/Schoolhouse road site included: proximity for future students and the potential for more students to walk to school; building a school on a site currently used for a school is preferred; access to existing utilities; less environmental impact and preservation of open space at Green Street.
