City battles over school building site fight headlined by Fort Hill
Officials clash over a proposed new school building budget. The plan on Common Street would cost about 858000, including land over 200000, exceeding legislative authorization. The Fort Hill site is favored by the mayor as a more economical, suitable location, while opponents push to proceed on the original plan unless funding is found. The mayor warns against overrun and notes Fort Hill lacks recreation need.
