Crestwood taxpayers overwhelmingly defeat expansion

Mountain Top taxpayers rejected the Crestwood School District's proposed $55.75 million school expansion project during Tuesday's special election, forcing the school district to come up with another plan to combat overcapacity issues throughout district schools.

With all 10 precincts reporting, the proposal received support from only 15.5 percent, or 814, of those casting ballots. A total of 4,437 voters, or 84.5 percent, voted no. Absentee ballots have not been counted
