Great Neck Middle School Replacement
January 22, 2008
On January 15, an information meeting was held for the purpose of sharing proposed plans for the replacement of the existing Great Neck Middle School, originally constructed in 1961. During the meeting, citizens had the opportunity to offer input on the project and answer questions regarding the usage of the facility and the adjacent Meadowridge Park. Results of citizen input are available for review.
The plans for the new school are currently being fine-tuned. It is anticipated these plans will be presented again to the community in the spring and/or early summer for input prior to selecting a final plan for construction.
