Both proposals were scaled-back versions

Voters in Webster and Fairport approved a pair of pared-down capital improvement projects, less than a year after more ambitious versions were defeated at the polls.

In both cases the price tags were much lower than what voters rejected last December.

Turnout in both Fairport and Webster was more than 50% greater than it was in December 2022, when low participation and a lack of publicity helped allow groups of committed opponents to block passage.
