FAQ Friday
Q: How will the project be financed?
A: The proposed project uses two financing mechanisms designed to limit long-term costs while keeping the tax impact as low as possible.
First, $9,000,000 will be funded through lease purchase financing. This portion is structured as a seven-year commitment and will be paid using the 13-cent Special Building Fund levy that is already in place. Thanks to the Nebraska Property Tax Credit, the actual tax asking on this portion is reduced by 30%.
Second, the remaining $17,995,000 will be funded through general obligation bonds paid over 20 years. Based on current valuation and the district’s budget, this portion of the project is estimated to result in an 8.65-cent increase to the levy for the life of the bonds.
By selecting a 20-year bond term—rather than the 25-year term proposed in May—the district reduces total interest costs by approximately $2.6 million over the life of the financing.
This approach balances affordability, responsible long-term planning, and the needs of the project.
