Future Facility Needs That Will Require May 2020 Referendum Support

Construction Inflation Adjustments for 2016 Referendum Projects

We are excited to continue our commitments to the 2016 Referendum Projects. Renderings, videos and additional details can be found on our District website under the Future Planning Tab https://www.msdwt.k12.in.us/project-schedule/. This important work involves all of our schools. Since the community’s support in 2016, we have been experiencing construction inflation at an unprecedented rate of 15% to 18%. This rate of inflation is predicted to continue and will impact future projects. We are experiencing a signicant increase in the cost of building materials and construction labor shortages due to signicant competition in the marketplace with major projects occurring in Central Indiana. For these reasons, the project budgets are no longer adequate to perform the anticipated scope of renovations.
