Lockport High School officials consider bond sales, leasing land for solar panels

Lockport Township High School District 205 officials will soon consider a variety of ways to pay for improvements to its Central Campus, including issuing life safety or working cash bonds without going to a referendum, using cash reserves or seeking alternative revenue sources, such as leasing land to a solar energy plant.

District officials are trying to figure out the best path forward after voters rejected a March 19 referendum to fund $85 million in improvements to its 115-year-old Central Campus.
