Michelle reviewed that the committee had recommended option 3 as attached to the packet to the Board in March 2023. The designer continued with drafting plans and determined that the cost of option 3 as drawn was in now in excess of $700k. Brian and Michelle worked with designer to adjust the drawings to include 1) more plantings and less concrete area 2) wood benches as opposed to cement blocks and 3) removed the additional sidewalk along the entrance way. Michelle explained that these modifications brought the cost estimate down to $420k. The project is presently in the bid stage.
