LEAP will not be moved 2/3 mile down the road; in any of the Hartwell-based community center plan options, it will remain at the existing Hartwell campus. Thus children will continue to be able to walk from school, as they do now, to after-school programs run by the Town Parks & Rec Dept or to LEAP daycare.
Those programs obviously need to remain at the Hartwell campus. If we don't build the community center there, we'll still need to renovate the old Hartwell pods for their current uses. I have heard an estimate of $3.5 million per pod for each of those three pods (perhaps someone on the CCBC could confirm). So among other considerations, there is a great cost efficiency in remaking the Hartwell campus so it can both serve those functions and the additional functions that have been proposed for an inter-generational community center.
