Building Costs Debate at Shaftsbury Meeting Over Union School
Atty. John H. Williams II responded to Lafayette B. Lyons's letter alleging $22 per square foot for the union school versus $10 for Bennington Catholic High School. Williams cited a 1957 New Hampshire Architect description showing BCHS at $11.14 per sq ft excluding equipment and other costs, and argued union costs include those items plus shops and auditorium. He estimated BCHS would cost about $13 per sq ft in 1963 dollars and noted missing spaces account for the higher union figure.
