The $76.5 million does not include the purchase of a site, which has been narrowed down to three possibilities. According to Jim Nihan, a selectman here, the top site is the 87.9-acre Pawloski Farm located here. The other two potential sites are the 170-acre Kelleher Farm in Raynham and the 75-acre Leach property here. Nihan tells GlobeSt.com that the costs of these sites have not yet been determined.
The state would cover 70% of the cost of the school and Bridgwater would be responsible for 65.9% of the costs while Raynham would be responsible for 34.1%, mirroring the breakdown of the school population. Nihan points out that the vote is a little more complicated for residents in his town because Raynham is proposing selling back its share in the high school to allow Bridgwater to build a middle school on the site.
