(KLZA)-- A wish list for new facilities in Auburn.
Compiled from ideas presented by residents during a March 12th town hall meeting, a report has been completed by JEO Consulting group.
Auburn Mayor Scott Kudrna said the top choices of patrons included a performing arts center, a gymnasium / sports facility, a convention center, a rec-center / YMCA type facility and an indoor aquatic facility.
The next steps in the process will be to form a committee of City and School Board members to sit down and look at what funding sources each entity would have available to help foot the bill for the proposed facilities.
The performing arts center, the top priority of those attending the March meeting, would carry a price tag of 6.7 – 7.2-million dollars, while an indoor pool facility would have a price tag ranging from 3.25 – 3.64-million.
If approved by voters, Auburn has the ability to increase the city sales tax by half a point to 7-percent.
