THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Lancaster Township is planning a new public works building and has revised the concept to cut estimated cost from $10 million to $8 million. They are evaluating multiple borrowing scenarios between $4 million and $6 million, and staff recommends a $6 million, 15‑year loan funded through graduated millage increases. This is early-stage capital and debt planning; no design, CM, or construction contractor is identified. Vendors in facility design, construction, and owner’s rep services can engage around refining scope, phasing, and lifecycle cost options as the Township moves from financing to project delivery.

Background

Financing options table shows a recommended $6 million borrowing over 15 years with annual debt service of $575,300 starting in 2028.
