UW-Fox Valley will atttempt to make it case for new communication arts center to county board

When the Winnebago County Board convenes next Tuesday night, one of the items it will hear about and get more information on is the request for approval of $5.3 million to construct a new Communication Arts Center on the campus of UW-Fox Valley. That is approximately one-fourth of the total $13.9 million cost. The other three-quarters would be paid for by the state, Outagamie County and the UW-Fox Foundation. This project has been discussed for years and now campus officials say it is time to do something or it may never get done. If put off, the costs are projected to rise about $1 million per year.

Though the county board will discuss the issue at Tuesday's meeting, it is not scheduled to vote on it until its January meeting.
