In September 2019 the Town carried out a four-day design charrette to identify future opportunities for Centennial Campground. [READ THE DRAFT REPORT]
The design charrette yielded two results:
• Option 1: the Campground Option
• Option 2: the Development Option
The Open House will show the two preferred options (details below) as determined by charrette participants, and an economic analysis of each.
OPTION 1: Improved Campground
- Improve existing campground;
- Addition of key facilities;
- Multipurpose/campground support building;
- Communal fire pit;
- Community garden/communal space;
- Playground area.
| CAMPGROUND, SCENARIO A: | CAMPGROUND, SCENARIO B: |
| In this option, it is assumed that the Town will pay for the entire construction costs and will lease the campground and a portion of the multi-purpose building to a third-party operator, year-round | In this option, it is assumed that the Town will pay for a portion of the construction costs, with the remaining being covered by the campground developer. In this scenario, the Town will own the land and will lease the campground and a portion of the multi-purpose building to a third-party operator, year-round. |
| Phased approach: 22 powered RV lots, communal fire pit, trail network, playground; Multi-purpose/campground support building Design stage would include landscape plan to preserve existing trees and plant new trees Cost estimate: Phase 1 (Campground) estimated cost $829,988 Phase 2 (Multi-purposed building) estimated cost $3,829.888 Total estimated cost: $4,659,876 | |
