Going to be interesting where they get the money from. Infrastructure needs, such as water and sewer pipes needing to be replaced, paying for law enforcement, the courts are making the city council look at replacing the municipal building or at least doing major repairs and so and so on. Also within the last couple of weeks they sent out notifications of a real estate tax increase for the residents of at least 30 to 40%. Alot of hurdles to jump before this becomes a reality. Missed the boat by not doing this years ago when things were alot better economically in the city. I wish the school system alot of luck in getting this done. Must have some huge anonymous donors lined up.

Man, those real estate taxes are going through the roof everywhere. That stinks. I hope the kids get the new gym. They deserve it. That community deserves it. Very basketball rich tradition.
