How should the Claude Chester School property re-used in the future?

A Public Input Session was held on February 7 at which concepts were presented for the re-use of the former Claude Chester School site, based on feedback received from the public last year. For the next few weeks, the Conceptual Plan Survey below will be open for residents to express their preferences and views. Which conceptual plan is your favorite? Would you make any adjustments? What's the best way to get the project paid for?

This is a big step towards identifying a plan for the site. Please complete the survey and share this page with your friends!

  • Municipal projects are funded through the Town Budget either as a single year cost through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), or through Bonds where the Town borrows money and makes payments spread out over several years.  The Town Budget is funded through municipal taxes, so any increase to the Budget will likely increase  municipal taxes.  This exercise suggests potential impacts of various size projects to the mill rate to determine the public’s appetite for funding potential projects.  

    • Town of Groton 2022 Budget = ~$138M
    • Town of Groton 2022 Mill Rate = ~26 Mills
    • Town of Groton Median Home Value = $300K
