Default The Villages Library Renovations/Addition

An article in the daily sun said that it will cost 1.4 million. Essentially, it's a big room addition. What about it could possibly cost 1.4 million? They didn't have to buy any land.

Even if you imagine that each item cost $50,000 it wouldn't cost 1.4 million.

For example:

Concrete slab...........................$50,000.

Four walls (ea. costing 50)...........$200,000.

Roof.........................................$50,0 00.

Underground utilities...................$50,000.

Reconstruct parking......................$50,000.

Interior finishing...........................$50,000.


We're up to $450,000. Even if you double the price of everything above there's still a half million unaccounted for.
