The university has some lofty plans the question is who is going to pay for it? The tax payers ( at all levels of government) or the students?
Should be interesting to watch. " |

coming from for the demolition? I recall from a article in the Brandon Sun that major renovations are needed for two of the buildings on the BU campus. After the city only charging a buck for all that property I hope it's not us taxpayers that are on the hook for any of this demo or building either! " |

Maybe someone in the know could tell us what the price tag is for this development and how it will be funded. The price of the demolition will be part of the funding plan I would think.
To the best of my knowledge post secondary education is funds from many levels of governments and tuitions. With the ability to access education without having to attend a brick and mortar structure, now and in the future , one has to wonder how this grand plan will work out.
The last plan for the sight cost the city tax payer more than the $100,000 retention wall. Who paid for the hotel to be demolished when it was inherited on the tax sale by the city? Who paid to have the hazardous material in that building removed? Who paid for the old book store that was on the sight and demolition costs? Who paid for the Brandon real estate board office and demolition costs?( provincial money )
On that note was there ever a report by the city on what the environmental study bellow the surface on the old hotel site and the old gas station site that was the Brandon Real estate building? If there are environmental issues with all of these sites who will pay for that?
Looks like we are in the $100 of thousands of dollars so far and more to come one would think. Time will tell.
