CWC: Age of old building makes maintenance too expensive About: No problem with tax but questions maintenance policy To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I would like to address the questions concerning maintenance at Colonel William Casey Elementary School.

The architect that reviewed all the facilities for the district gave a detailed list of areas that needed to be replaced or updated. The total cost in 2003 was $7.3M. In 2007, a different architect did not even give a figure but just recommended replacement. 2009-11-18 14:37:52 | Comments | Printable version
