Plans Begin To Take Shape For School Building Program
Lake county architects draft rough plans for a 2.2 million school building program financed by revenue notes. A building authorization committee will lease the new construction to the county to be repaid from state capital outlay funds over 20 years. Plans include a Mount Dora white school auditorium and cafeteria and East Town six classrooms plus a cafe torium. The board chose revenue notes over bonds to avoid delays and higher costs, while adding funds to Umatilla Tavares Howey Mascotte areas and reducing Leesburg Negro high and white school expenditures.
