Very few people want their property condemned. They're not against schools. They're not against redevelopment projects. They just want it to be somewhere else.

It doesn't work out too fair for many people.

We've built 26 cisterns, all attached to schools, all within two kilometers of the park.

They were looking for more equity within a district and we decided to survey the schools. Some people said they were playing in a district with schools twice our size and some of the games weren't competitive.

The projects we fund are in conjunction with the administration of the two schools, the superintendent and the school board. We're also trying to work with the Parent Teacher Association. It makes no sense to be in competition, and we're much better (now) at doing that.

Many of the other Big Ten schools are engaged in similar preparedness projects, most notably the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan have pretty well-thought-out plans at this point.
