If we want to build new schools using existing land then we should reconsider using the mall site.<BR/><BR/>Given the minimum investment of $35 million dollars that the tax payers need to contribute to the schools project it is questionable whether or not Bristol will actually be able to afford the 2 new schools. The impact on the mill rate needs to be clearly explained to the people and examined to ensure that we aren't bankrupting many of our residents who are living on the economic edge. It would be a sad irony if in trying to improve educational opportunities for those families of modest means we end up pushing them out of their home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-42087058066870612842008-08-27T15:38:00.000-04:002008-08-27T15:38:00.000-04:00Hey 1:39 am: there are about ten roads that leave...Hey 1:39 am: there are about ten roads that leave Bristol.

HOWEVER, if there is no way to choose an alternate location, then I agree the City shouldn't pay more than $1.5 million for the land.
