Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill has announced the allocation of nearly $2.3 million in state funding for the York County School of Technology. The funds, secured through the Public School Facility Improvement Grant (PSFIG) program, are earmarked for upgrading the school's HVAC and boiler systems.

The upgrades will involve replacing 78 rooftop HVAC units and the original boiler unit, which have exceeded their useful life. The new equipment aims to improve energy efficiency, temperature control, and indoor air quality.

"This funding is a crucial investment in our students’ health and education that benefits all of York County," said Phillips-Hill. "By modernizing the York County School of Technology’s HVAC and boiler systems, we are not only ensuring a comfortable learning environment but also promoting sustainability and efficiency."

The total cost of the project is estimated at $3 million. The school will contribute $762,550 in matching funds to cover expenses beyond those covered by PSFIG funds.

Dr. Scott Rogers, Administrative Director, expressed gratitude for the grant: “We’re extremely thankful to Sen. Phillips-Hill and the many York County legislators who played a part in awarding this generous Public School Facility Improvement Grant to the York County School of Technology.”

This initiative marks an important advancement in improving educational facilities within York County.
