From the Shelbyville News:
As sports enthusiasts made their way around Triton Central High School last week, the question on the minds of everyone was, “Where is the concession stand?”
Approximately two months ago, the old concession stand was dismantled, making room for the new facility that was voted upon two weeks ago. The new facility, which comes with a price tag of $950,600, will feature a concession stand, locker rooms, coaches’ offices, athletes’ showers and restrooms, public restrooms, a laundry room, storage and an athletic trainer’s room.

On a home valued at $50,000, taxpayers will see an incremental tax rate impact of $1.90 and a maximum tax rate impact of $6.67 on their annual bills.
On a home valued at $100,000, taxpayers could pay $6.22 more but no more than $21.84. For a home valued at $122,000, the cost would be $8.98 and a maximum of $31.51; while those owning a home valued at $150,000 will pay $12.40 or a maximum of $43.52. For a home valued at $200,000, the cost is $18.57 and a maximum of $65.20.
Seagrave said all involved are “very cognizant of how much taxes are raised in order to build school projects.”
“The tax rate is weighed against the need to maintain or upgrade facilities for our kids and our community. Functionality must be a key component of any building the district builds. There are almost always arguable points on both sides of whether improvements are wants or needs. There is a balancing act weighing each side of the proposed action and coming up with equilibrium point analysis that pushes toward construction or towards something else,” Seagrave said.
