[quote=Anonymous]The budget estimate is up.  News Flash - this project won't work at $185 million.  Moving the Montessori program and tearing down the Patrick Henry building is now off the table.  Thank god.

Notably, the cost to renovate the existing CC building for Montessori: "is the equivalent of a full-stand alone elementary school project and does not fit within the target budget."  Cost estimate = $65 million for that aspect of the project alone!

Other key points:
"• Renovation of the existing ACC to support an expanded MPSA requires substantial capital investment.
• If scope associated with the MPSA program is removed from the project, the cost will be substantially closer to the budget."

But, the proposal recommends moving forward with redevelopment of the CC site using the entire $185 million budget.  An actual building plan is due by October 2021.[/quote]
