WESTPORT — Construction of a new Long Lots Elementary School, projected to cost approximately $100 million, the most expensive capital project in Westport history, could begin later this year.

And the town has a punch list of other big-ticket expenditures in the pipeline. To pay for them over the coming years, the town’s overall bonded debt could top $300 million — with per capita debt divided among local taxpayers that might triple.

Other major projects could include:

• Sweeping plans to add, upgrade and replace facilities at Longshore Club Park.

• A new Fire Department headquarters, with a study planned to expand that facility into a combined police, fire and EMS complex.

• Post-Long Lots, an as-yet-determined plan to renovate or replace Coleytown Elementary School.

To discuss major capital spending projects in the town’s future, the League of Women Voters of Westport and the Westport Library’s Common Ground Initiative will co-host a March 26 forum on the topic.

The program is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, at the library, 20 Jesup Road. Register for the free program by clicking here.

First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker and Supt. of Schools Thomas Scarice are scheduled to outline the capital projects on their respective sides of the municipal ledger — all of which, however, ultimately will be paid for by the same taxpayer base.

Joining them will be “a panel of experts,” who will discuss possible funding strategies, capital planning and the approval process for capital projects, according to library publicity for the event.

There also will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions.
