Gates Chili is in the midst of planning its next capital improvement project.
Just like regular maintenance and upkeep of a home, the district must address its ongoing facilities needs through regular planned capital improvement projects. The goal with each of these projects is to have no impact on the tax levy, instead using capital reserves and state funding to offset costs.
After many months of research and planning, the district is ready to present a plan for its next capital project that preserves resources and maintains schools for many years to come. Unlike past projects that have focused mainly on new construction and the addition of things like the Gates Chili Performing Arts Center, much of the work included in this proposed project are infrastructure and mechanical needs related to aging facilities.
Work is divided into four categories with each building having certain needs addressed. The greatest percentage of the proposed work will address failing infrastructure needs:
- 42% failing infrastructure needs
- 35% renovations
- 15% replacements
- 8% new work
There will be many more opportunities to learn about this project ahead of the Feb. 5, 2025 vote.
