In an attempt to supplement inflation and other cost increases, the Litchfield Park City Council approved an $11.5M bond for projects related to the Litchfield Square downtown core development and associated infrastructure.
Cost projects had risen from $25M to $40M due to inflation, officials said.
An initial consideration to complete Litchfield Square infrastructure and associated projects was set at $23M in an April meeting. The figure was revised downward to $11.5M after recalculation by Mayor Thomas Schoaf and City staff.
The $11.5M figure was confirmed in the May 17 meeting.
With the lower bond amount, a $3M public works facility included in the original $23M draft appears to have been scrapped. (Source)
