McCormick hopes that he and MacLeod will secure investment so plans for the school can begin. He says that without funding there can be no plans set in motion.
The three major factors affecting investors’ decisions, says McCormick, are dollars, safety of kids, and the diversity of students.
He adds that PIE would need 40 to 50 acres of land on which to build their campus, and the development would be phased over several years.
