“Well I think it's clear the Crescent View Middle School acquisition presents a larger issue. It shows that Sandy is at a crossroads to preserve the land or to develop the land. And over this last couple of months of the community conversation we've heard a lot of feedback. We've heard feedback from our residents who are frustrated that every last postage stamp of land seems to be developed for higher and higher density.

“No. So the $21 million bond allows for the property acquisition and basic updates to get it operational. If we proceed further and do a further development of, let's say, turn it into a civic center or a performing arts center or something like that, or take recommendations or suggestions of all the different partnership proposals that have come to be, We planned that in a separate phase.
