Board hears bonding scenarios, cost estimates for Memorial Field master plan
Summary
District staff presented debt-service estimates tied to a city-led Memorial Field master plan (study estimate $28.5 million) and discussed potential school share, bond terms and near-term maintenance risks for athletic facilities.
Concord School District staff presented high-level debt-service scenarios for the city's Memorial Field master plan, describing a range of bond terms and tax-rate impacts the board would face if it chose to contribute to construction and renovation.
Board member Mr. Richards reported the study's design-phase estimate and earlier consultant figures: "The design phase is estimated at, at this point, $1,500,000 total.
