School District to act as fiscal agent for three projects

If a memorandum of understanding is worked out, Oconee School District will serve as the fiscal agent for the first building projects inside Oconee’s Information and Technology Park on highway 11.  Because construction of the district’s career center will take up about 70% of what’s done there, the district’s Steve Hanvey says, it’s felt it simply would be easier if the district acts as the pass-thru to pay the bills.  Besides the high school career center, the park is to be home to a satellite campus of Tri-County Tech and new offices for the Oconee Economic Alliance.  According to Hanvey, this arrangement is a collaboration of governments that’ll save the taxpayers.
