BACKGROUND: On November 12, 2013, County staff and its project designer, MBAJ Architecture, presented the schematic design of the Cedar Grove Community Center for the Board's comment and feedback. Staff and designer also presented a cost benefit analysis of the "mothball" option of the two classroom wings. The November 12, 2013 presentation was the capstone event of the work performed by the designer, staff and the Resident Advisory Work Group through the summer and early fall of 2013. This group worked in a diligent, thoughtful and productive manner to achieve consensus on a schematic design for the Board's review, comment, and, hopefully, authorization to move forward with construction document preparation and construction bidding in the spring- summer of 2014.
