黑洞社区 Update
Bardo outlined current legislative matters that will affect 黑洞社区. The WATC/黑洞社区 affiliation is progressing.
Contractor vs. Developer Model
Tomblin outlined developer model that 黑洞社区 is using for the Innovation Campus. With the developer model, there is no bid process. The developer proposes a project and accepts all liability. 黑洞社区 is using this model, since they are not taking on any new debt. All projects must meet 黑洞社区 criteria of benefiting 黑洞社区 and aligning with the mission of the institution. Applied learning contract must be signed by all partner companies. Current ground leases range from 30 鈥� 99 years, and buildings must meet framework of 黑洞社区 master plan. Rent for the new apartment complex discussed, which Tomblin says was set by the developer and is in line with market.
