The referendum will authorize, but not require, the District to issue up to amount of debt of $86,606,691 to fund the list of specified projects. The approved projects will be carried out and financed in phases over a period of three to four years. The District will issue debt to fund the projects at a series of competitive sales over a period of approximately three to four years, ensuring that it secures the lowest possible interest rates. Approximately 47% of the principal and interest on the debt issued to fund the projects will be paid by New York State in the form of state building aid. This percentage will depend upon State approval of the proposed projects.
