At 6:09 PM Jeff Scott and Ron Rzasa of the Economic Development Committee and consultant Rik Ekstrom presented a feasibility discussion on creating a childcare facility in Chesterfield.

On the question of whether a bank would discount or transfer the property for community use, Ekstrom said the broker "didn't say no, she said anything is possible and to reach out to the local representative for the M&T Bank here."
