Voters will go to the polls on March 20th to cast their ballots on a referendum for the Cape Henlopen School District.
The district will be asking for a tax increase to generate $21 million for a new middle school and the expansion of Cape Henlopen High School.
It would add $46 a year onto the average household to their property taxes.
WBOC reports that the district says the expansion is needed to meet the growing student enrollment.
Brian Bassett, director of Capital Projects, told the television station that the high school is already over capacity with an expected student population of over 18-hundred by 2030.
The state will be picking up 60 percent of the cost.
