Front Door project at GCCC faces budget crunch and debt talk
GCCC trustees debated borrowings for a three to four million dollar Front Door project funded by COPs at 3.97 percent over 16 years.

Trustees considered reserves and private donations, while plans for a long term master financial plan were discussed to guide future funding and avoid public controversy.
