2 months ago Share After spending years pursuing the right to build free-standing public restrooms, the St. Armands Business Improvement District has concerns about the cost.
Is $480,000 a fair price for constructing a two-building, three-stall public restroom in a median on St. Armands Circle? It’s up for debate.
On Jan. 13, the St. Armands Business Improvement District discussed the construction bids it received for a bathroom project it’s been pursuing in one form or another for the better part of a decade. After settling on a design and location and setting aside $300,000 to build it, some BID board members expressed concerns about moving forward after learning about the higher-than-expected construction costs.
