Affordability

  • PowerPoint Presentation (20 slides)
  • Video (topic starts at about 00:39:28)
  • Option 1: Renovation and Addition
    • Lowest direct cost
    • Higher annual maintenance costs
    • No land sale, no commercial/economic development
  • Option 2: Build New in Two Phases
    • Highest cost option
    • Pushes half of the cost out 8 years
    • Lowers financial risk
    • Allows first phase of commercial/economic development to occur prior to taking on full financial costs
    • Increases school operational difficulties
  • Option 3: Build New in One Phase
    • Delivers new school most rapidly
    • Highest "upfront" cost
    • Risk of land sale and economic development not occurring immediately
