Rochester school upgrades expand with cost checks

The law raises Rochester's phase-three school project cost ceiling from $475 million to $600 million, covering up to 12 projects. Debt payments on financing within this ceiling do not count toward one statutory measure of the city's school contribution. Costs eligible for state aid are measured using each building's approved cost allowance, not total expected aid payments. Reviews occur after schematic plans and at 25%, 50%, and 75% completion of final plans and specifications. If aid-eligible costs fall below 95% of total costs, the construction board must stop plan work and redesign or find cost-saving changes before continuing.
