WESTFIELD — On Oct. 20, the School Committee unanimously approved a new housebuilding agreement with the Westfield Technical Academy Foundation for a one-story ranch house to be built on 72 St. James Ave. by students in construction technology, cabinetmaking, electrical wiring, horticulture, and several other departments at the school.
The Westfield Technical Foundation is a non-profit entity which was set up for the last housebuilding project on 64 Mill Street, to allow the school to borrow the money to buy the property and build the house from the Polish National Credit Union at zero percent interest. When the home was completed, it sold in the first week, and proceeds were returned to the foundation for future programs.
