FALL RIVER, MASS. (WHDH) - Residents in Fall River passed a measure to fund a new high school.
The $263 million project would replace Durfee High School, which officials said is functionally obsolete.
The building sustained major damage after a pipe burst in January.
Officials said there are also leaking ceilings, rusted walls and other safety hazards.
The new school is expected to open in 2021.
