SALT LAKE CITY — The Alpine School District is set to sell more than $200 million in bonds to help fund new schools on the west side of Utah Lake.
The bonds will be used to help build a new high school in Saratoga Springs and an elementary school in Eagle Mountain.
Alpine School District Communications Director Rich Stowell said they are selling bonds now to use Alpine’s history to get lower rates for the new district.
“Early on, Alpine School District will be paying some of the debt amount,” Stowell explained, “but the largest portion is going to be repaid by the new school district out west.”
Stowell said the board hasn’t set a final amount for how much the bonds will be, but said it’ll be between $200 million and $230 million. He said the board is hoping to keep it closer to $200 million to give the new district more flexibility.
“This board is united in this commitment to getting facilities where they are needed,” Stowell continued, “and we know there’s been a lot of growth out in that area. They need more schools desperately and our board is working hard to get those facilities built.”
The bonds will go on sale on Thursday, July 10.
