Library Questions Posed

Members of the Fort Frances Library Board says they need some some clear direction from town council before they can determine the next step in building the new library and technology centre.

During a meeting yesterday, the board says it wants to know exactly how much money the town is prepared to contribute.

Project Manager Brian Avis says that will help determine what changes need to be made.

"Once the contribution is there, it will reasonably impact on the building footprint," says Avis.

Avis says if those two issues can be resolved soon, there is a good chance for construction to start this summer.

Councillor Ken Perry says the current size of the building and the total budget costs of $4.7 million remain two key areas of concern for members of council who rejected a construction contract last week.
