Dear Cromwell Community Members, 

At the last CMS Building Committee meeting, the Committee accepted the recommended contractors and the construction costs as presented by the Construction Manager. The total construction cost accepted is $58.6 million for the middle school and central administration building. The total project budget is $72.6 million which includes the construction costs, soft costs and furniture & fixtures. At this time the project is tracking $3.9 million under budget. Cromwell's reimbursement rate from the state is 49.96%. There will be items noted as ineligible for state reimbursement in the final review. The project’s construction is scheduled to begin Feb. 15. We will celebrate the milestone with a groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 21 from 4:30 to 5 p.m. at CMS.
