Terrace Hill Heating Plans Draw Fire In Restoration

The Terrace Hill restoration faces scrutiny over electric heating costs. Officials initially warned of a yearly $24,000 bill after a $1,500 test reading, but later projected $12,000 annually. State Treasurer Maurice Baringer explains the system uses steam and forced air powered by electricity, not radiant heat, with boilers installed at a cost of $40,000. The executive council decided to avoid natural gas due to unreliable gas supply projections and humidity/fire concerns. The project has spent about $1.3 million so far, with most funds from non-public sources and a Terrace Hill Society loan outstanding.
