Avon Lake District weighs building cuts and bond options
Avon Lake trustees line up a five year forecast through 2029 and discuss reducing the district footprint to cut costs. Voters rejected a construction bond and a permanent improvements levy on Nov 5, prompting budget cuts including Erieview Elementary closure and programming reductions. Renovations for existing buildings are estimated at about 133 million dollars, while cash on hand by 2029 would fall short of a 60 day reserve.
