RCS CONSIDERS PURCHASE OF McBRIDE STADIUM

(Richmond, IN)--There were a couple of important issues aside from the dispute between RCS and the REA and this week’s Board meeting.  There’s an opportunity for the school district to purchase McBride Stadium for $12,000 from the Richmond Parks Department.  The stadium is now 87 years and is again in need of numerous repairs and upgrades.  Financial issues were also discussed.  Right now, RCS has one of the state’s lowest tax rates.  One option discussed included a $10 million assumed debt increase.
