Trustees hear $12-per-taxpayer estimate for renovation; figure depends on fundraising
Summary
Board members were told the most recent projected cost for a renovation and expansion is about $12 per taxpayer per year for 20 years, but trustees noted the figure could change depending on fundraising and construction costs.
At the July 6, 2026 meeting trustees were given a high-level projection for the proposed repair, renovation and expansion project: the most recent figure cited was $12.00 per taxpayer per year for 20 years. Director Leslie Jochman said the number is a projection and emphasized it will change depending on fundraising and other costs such as temporary location expenses and architect fees.
No formal motion or vote on the project was recorded at the meeting; the report was an unfinished-business update from the Ad Hoc Repair, Renovation and Expansion Committee. Trustees raised questions about the variability of the estimate but the minutes do not record further quantified alternatives or a timeline for next steps.
