People have commented that this is a bad time for Lincoln County School District to pass a bond measure. The truth is, the timing couldn't be better!
Low interest rates, competitive pricing among contractors, availability of federal stimulus from the Qualified School Construction Bond program that will lower bond interest rates, saving taxpayers around $9.4 MILLION over the 15-year life of the bond? That's HUGE!
The needs aren't diminishing, the buildings are getting older, construction will never be cheaper.... When you know the facts, it's hard to argue against passage of the bond measure!
