Just another day in 'Murica.
MAGA!
ICSD has to have their money...Which is absolutely idiotic

Just when they needed all the cash to build all of their other new schools?North Liberty was put in a weird situation when they built their first elementary school in the 60s. They needed the ICCSD support and probably never saw the potential to grow to 20 thousand people.
They SHOULD have looked at going independent sometime around 2005 or so.

All the new Iowa City schools are geothermal. And solar panels don't pay back in a timely fashion for government buildings because they don't get the tax breaks for installing them.Question - why is it when new government buildings (such as schools) are built, they aren't built with geothermal and solar panels? Aren't those prime targets for CC\GW?
Under IC's thumb? IC drug their feet? NL should just say thanks for the money I gave to build their new schools.Would you rather own or rent?
Yes, at that time they hadnt built Van Allen. Garner, NLJH, addition at Penn, and High School. The town had the tax base and the votes to pass its own bond at the time and get out from under ICCSDs thumb. They should have done it.
Instead they got stuck in political limbo for a decade while ICCSD drug their feet and lost tons of money on open enrollments to neighboring towns.

Good to know, I wonder how many other government buildings are using Geo\Solar? I don't think any of our schools are... solar is easy to do right on top of the school.The junior high in North Liberty is geothermal,... I would suspect that the elementary & high school are also....

Yep - that's why I don't understand why all government bldgs aren't that way, they are (especially schools) are around for decades its seems. Thanks for the info!It typically comes down to the budget they are able to justify for the project,... In our area the up charge on a typical, mid range, institutional geothermal system can be recouped in 8-12 years. Good investment for facilities that are planning for the long term....
If you have to ask, you probably won't understand the answer.Why?

IC is in a boom of new schools now. Thanks to NL for the coins they threw in the collection plate.

Geothermal sucks all the heat out of the Earth, counters global warming.
