Operations Assessment Start Date Moved to 2022

After further evaluation, FLTF determined that the proposed Four Lakes operations assessment, which was set to begin on the winter 2021 tax bill, is better suited to begin in 2022. Before implementing an assessment we want to ensure we have a quality implementation plan, therefore we need:

1. A system in place across the two counties to manage the assessment.
2. More certainty of the costs.
3. A robust review of the assessment benefit factors.

To avoid project delays, there must be an operations assessment in 2022 if grants from other sources such as private, state or federal (of at least $8-$10 million) are not committed by the end of 2021. We are making this change because we think that our efforts and resources would be better spent on advocating for large funding from the state and federal government rather than on gathering $1 million from the operations assessment. This is not expected to impact overall timing unless we are unable to acquire the needed funding.
