It is estimated that infrastructure to allow access into the property will be around $3.5M. This is normally responsibility of the developer. This is money the city does not have. Financing will likely have to come from tax payers through a bond measure. The Academy had hoped to open this fall in the Explorer Store building, but that facility has fallen through. </span></font></div>
