A Fort Frances businessman is speaking out in opposition to town council's decision NOT to accept a construction contract for the new library and technology centre.
Alan Tibbetts says council's vote last week failed to show good leadership for the future. And he's tendered his resignation from the the town's economic development advisory committee, the Fort Frances Business Improvement Association and two related committees.
"I feel they don't have a vision for any growth for Fort Frances," says Tibbetts, "and as an ordinary citizen, if council is not leading, then I'm not prepared to work on behalf of council either."
Tibbetts says even if council reverses its decision, he has no plans to withdraw his resignations.
Council is to discuss the library project at a meeting this afternoon.
