[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine, let's make a bet.  I'm the poster who thinks development will slow.  You think it won't.  Let's pick a measuring stick we can agree on, and we'll revisit where we stand over the next few years.  What should we use?[/quote]
Funding plans for the new middle school.  I think the major renovation money goes in the 2017 budget with some planning dollars in 2016.  I'd consider anything later than that to be slowing.  Deal?  (pun intended)[/quote]
Works for me, but let's make it even more specific.  Do you have any links to where there's been discussion about those current 2016 and 2017 budget plans?  Have there been any targets set for re-opening?[/quote]
I don't think there's been a formal date set (or discussed) by the city.  I think the implementation plan from former mayor Gray just said that it would be address in the FY16 budget.

The only faster thing than what I suggested would be to get full construction funding in FY16, and that seems unrealistic.[/quote]
OK, fair enough.  Let's go with your proposal.  I agree there will be some planning money in the 2016 budget, but I say 2017 will just have more planning money.  Real substantial renovation money won't come until the 2018 or 2019 budget, and we won't have the school open before 2019.[/quote]

Sounds like a fair bet.  I will be impressed if you remember to bring up this post in a few months / years.  I will be depressed if I'm still checking in here often enough to notice.[/quote]
