The figures of $360 million and $770 million came from the City Assessor who maintains a ten year projection. I didn't question him about how the projection was done, however. Carol Becker Longfellow - Original Message - From: Russell Wayne Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROT

Once again, I appreciate Carol's answering of our questions online. However, I am a little confused. Can Carol or someone tell me how our tax capacity can almost double from $360 million to $770 million in nine years? And my second question is how much of that decertified TIF money will be needed

IT is typical for libraries to experience an upswing in patronage after a remodel or rebuild. However, after the first year, that upswing disappears and number of visitors goes down. That didn't happen at Hosmer, but we added $450,000 in books and programming to keep that from happening. Howeve
