Compass and Ai3 would like to congratulate the City of Watertown on the successful vote on March 2, 2022 by the Massachusetts School Building Authority Board to authorize the Executive Director to execute the Project Scope & Budget and Project Funding Agreements with the City of Watertown for the new Watertown High School project. This is an important and exciting milestone, and one that marks our transition into the Construction Phase of the Project. We are grateful for the all of the dedication, tenacity, knowledge, expertise, and support from the School Building Committee.
