SCC PROVIDES GLOUCESTER COUNTY FAMILIES PROGRESS REPORT ON SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS


Washington, Twp. (August 25, 2004) – In an effort to inform Gloucester County residents about the progress of the state’s school construction program, John F. Spencer, CEO of the NJ Schools Construction Corporation (SCC), held a countywide town meeting in the auditorium of the Washington Township Performing Arts High School.

The meeting, hosted jointly by Senator Fred Madden, consisted of a general overview of how the state’s school construction program works and the type of projects occurring in Gloucester County.

The meeting is part of SCC’s on-going effort to educate and inform communities about the school construction projects in their towns.

Governor James E. McGreevey formed the SCC in July 2002 to accelerate the state’s $8.6 billion school construction program. The program is the largest public construction program ever undertaken by the State of New Jersey and represents one of the largest programs of its type in the nation.

The school was built by Joseph A. Natoli Construction Corporation of Pine Brook and designed by Yezzi Associates of Toms River.
