Some of my take-a-ways....you look at it and make your own assessment.
Summary....
- HUB group put a lot of effort into project (Kudos for stepping forward!). - - Little town leadership involvement to date...mostly from afar.
- $15.4 Million projected costs to build. Very nice facility.
- $450,000 annual operating costs before some revenue offsets yet to be determined
- Not all operating costs have been included, so annual numbers will likely go up.
- Survey results show about 2/3rds majority of those who turned in survey want the facility, but not any type of scientific survey.
- HUB group wants BOS to sponsor warrant article for May Town Meeting.
- Three BOS members jumped on the chance to sponsor the article without any vetting of the data they just saw. Not unusual...
- Some donations and possible sponsors, but that is confidential for now. Apparently got to vote for it to see more....
- Cost to do a phased approach will be costly.
