Earlier, at 7:05 PM, West Stockbridge reported 462 yes to 131 no for Question 1 and 435 yes to 157 no for Question 2.
This momentous decision allows the district to borrow $152,067,064 for designing and constructing a new facility on 600 Stockbridge Road in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. The new high school will replace the existing Monument Mountain Regional High School, serving students in grades 9-12.
The ballot contained two key questions. The first sought approval for the borrowing of funds, while the second asked voters if their town should be exempt from a property tax limitation to cover the bond issued for the project.
