Once again, the building of our track has been postponed. We have received a number of questions about the track, so here are answers to our most common questions. We will continue to keep you updated to the track's progress.
Why is this taking so long?
We have had to go through an extensive process of getting permits, engineering plans, waivers on costs, and lastly waiting for Virginia Paving to schedule the construction. The land at the back of the school is Stafford County land. Our first long step was to get all necessary permits and waivers of cost through Stafford Planning Boards which took almost a year. Now we are waiting for Virginia Paving Company to schedule our paving job.
Why don't we use a different paving company?
Because we are buildling on county land, we MUST use the county's paving contractor...Virginia Paving.
How much does this cost?
The cost estimates are about $20,000 right now. The job was originally priced at $30,000 and we have received ~$10,000 in permit fee waivers from the county. Virginia Paving knocked $22,000 off the price of paving as part of their corporate community service.
Did we earn enough money during Boosterthon last year to cover the costs?
YES! We have the money sitting in our saving account waiting to write a check.
When will it be built?
Great question! Our most recent 'scheduled' time is over Spring Break, but once again, we have been bumped multiple times already. We will keep you updated as we get information.
