YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO SPEND $5 MILLION IN MAINTENANCE ON PRESCOTT CAMPUS IN 20-21

Performing Arts Center needs $2.7 million for new roof and HVAC

The draft maintenance budget for 2020-21 was unveiled at the March Community College District Board meeting.  In total, the College will spend about $5 million in maintenance projects in the District. Almost all of the maintenance will occur on the Prescott Campus.

The most expensive project is the Performing Arts Center on the Prescott Campus.  It is estimated the College must spend an estimated $2.6 million to replace a failing HVAC system and put a new roof on the facility.  It appears that most of  this cost will be the responsibility of  County taxpayers via their annual  primary property taxes paid to support the Community College.

The second largest project involves the residence halls on the Prescott Campus. Maintenance on those facilities is estimated to cost about $1.2 million.
