Voters in Muskego, Mukwonago and Menomonee Falls approved significant building project referendums in Tuesday’s elections, providing even more work for an already busy local construction industry.
In Muskego, voters approved a $43.2 million school facilities referendum, which will include a new middle school and will consolidate the district’s five elementary schools into three by closing the two oldest schools and expanding two existing elementary schools.
In Mukwonago, voters approved $49.5 million to renovate and expand the high school.
In Menomonee Falls, voters approved a $32.7 million district-wide facility improvement program, which will include numerous facility upgrades and demolition of two buildings.
However, in Grafton voters rejected two building referendums, one for $47.7 million in facility upgrades and the other for $1.8 million in physical education, athletic and recreational area upgrades.
And in Waterford, voters rejected a $12.2 million referendum to build a new 52,000-square-foot field house at the high school.
