08/07/08 For what It's Worth Adds Up The Costs In Byram (Updated)

What's That Giant Flushing Sound We Are Hearing In Byram

What is it about Byram?

by Chris Fountain

...The Byram Library expansion project is behind schedule and, worse, has soared from a $2.7 million budget to $4.8, a figure which is presumably still climbing. How in Hell do you miss a cost estimate by this much? I can only guess that the same folks who have dealt so well with our Hamilton Avenue and Glenville schools turned their attention to storing books, but maybe they should retire. "Only" $1.3 million of Greenwich taxpayer money is sunk in this mire, but it's still appalling. Sheesh!
