Frequently Asked Questions > Finances > How was Concord Academy involved in this process?

  • While the High School hillside site was identified back in 2001, funding for construction was not then available
  • In 2005, the Town Manager asked representatives of the Fields Group to meet with Concord Academy officials to explore the possibility of obtaining funding for new fields at the High School in exchange for limited use of Emerson Field by Concord Academy athletes
  • Discussions were held for nine months, but ultimately Concord Academy officials chose to discontinue negotiations
  • Meanwhile, the High School site's desirability was confirmed, and other sources of funding, including Community Preservation Act monies, were sought instead
