What if not enough sales taxes are collected or the construction costs are higher than projected?
Construction costs have been developed at the master plan level using extremely conservative numbers along with conservative sales tax projections. As a result, it is highly unlikely that a shortfall would result. However, if resources are below projected needs, consideration will be given to possible areas of deduction such as decreasing the size of the hard-scaped portion of the river. It is imperative that the project be undertaken now to take advantage of lower construction costs when contractors are on the sidelines ready to get to work, as well as, to take advantage of the low borrowing rates currently available.
