The new facility will be located on Lake Road in Elmira Heights and will accommodate the school district's 12 buses, as well as other smaller vehicles owned by the district.
In addition to housing the vehicles, the facility will include an office space and a training space for the transportation department, as well as a space for maintaining the vehicles. There will also be an on-site fueling station for both the diesel buses and other gas-powered vehicles.

Over the last 25 years, the Elmira Heights Central School District has utilized the facility within the Horseheads School District to fulfill the needs of housing and maintaining its vehicles. While Gill says that the districts maintain a good relationship with one another, Horseheads no longer has the space to accommodate Elmira Heights, as it requires reorganization within its own transportation department.
Given the timing, the school district hopes to fulfill its goal of creating a more independent transportation system and more control over operations to better meet the district's needs. The new facility is expected to open in time for the 2026-2027 school year.
