It’s just bizarre to put a high school at the farthest most eastern part of the city,” said Rizzo who added the school should be centrally located and he would never support a high school at Wonderland under any circumstances. Next Monday, the city council’s Ways and Means subcommittee will vote on whether to recommend that the full council approve the building design and its $470,000 budget. Rizzo said people keep talking about education but added committee member aren’t voting on education, they’re voting on a construction project with a serious budget. For Rizzo, fi nancing is key. “When you’re exposing residents to this lawsuit, an unknown that will be decided in court, the numbers have to make sense,” he said. Rizzo suggested giving the property back to the original owners and starting work on the possibility of building the school on its current site. School Building project leaders have repeatedly said that would delay the project by a year, during which construction costs will jump possibly nine percent. But Rizzo sees potential benefi ts in the delay. “We’re in a unique time,” he said. “It’s the highest infl ationary time, interest rates are at an all -time high…” he said. A delay might give the overall economy time to relax and readjust. Like Keefe, Ward 5 Councillor John Powers, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, questions the value of the Wonderland site given its history as a vacant, blighted nuisance for the city. “It’s a very wet area,” said Powers. “I believe the property was not a positive area for a developer. If it was a buildable property, developers would have already come in.” Powers said $100 million was a grossly infl ated price. “I don’t know the answer,” he said, “but we need a new high school.” COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SALES & RENTALS List with us in the New Year!
