Enfield voters are currently deciding on a school construction project that is set to cost $511 million. The proposal includes completely renovating four elementary schools, closing one, and converting another into an academy. While the project involves state grants and reimbursements, taxpayers would be responsible for a maximum of $89 million, which means property taxes would increase.
