Price Spikes on Westford's School Window Project

According to the Lowell Sun, the project may now cost $4.5 million.

Westford school officials said recently that because of inflation and other reasons, the cost of the Norman E. Day School and Col. John Robinson School window replacement projects will likely be doubled.

According to a report in the Lowell Sun, during a Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee meeting last week, officials said that in total the project could cost upwards of $4.5 million.

Westford was granted partial reimbursement for the project by the Massachusetts School Building Authority, with the condition that the work be completed by 18 months from June 2013. However, The Sun reported that the construction may have to be pushed back until 2015.
