“Postponement” announcement buried in Yavapai Community College Facilities Management Newsletter of October 2022 | Length of postponement unclear | Governing Board and public await an explanation
The rumor has been circulating in the Verde Valley that the Yavapai Community College Administration has “postponed” development of the Ten Million dollar Verde Valley beer brewing brewery project. Although there has been no formal announcement made to the public or the District Governing Board about the project, the Blog discovered an announcement of the postponement buried in the October 2022 Facilities Management Newsletter.
Why the public, or at least the District Governing Board, was not informed of the reasons for the postponement or the expected length of the delay at the October meeting is puzzling. But this project is one that the College administration has tried very hard to keep details secret as much as possible from public scrutiny.
The general definition of “postponed” is that something will take place at a time later than that first scheduled. The College administration might inform the public and the Board at its meeting in November about what has changed its plans for the project. So far the College has invested thousands of dollars in preliminary planning and architectural drawings, which will go to waste if the project is eventually abandoned.
Moreover, will the postponement mean no request for a tax increase in May?
Below is a copy of the announcement found in the College Facilities and Management Newsletter of October 2022.
