More Library Discussions

There will be more talk about the new library and technology centre today. This time, project manager Brian Avis will reiterate his thoughts about the project to members of town council this afternoon.

Monday, Avis told members of the library board it needs to know how much council is willing to contribute to the project before deciding a next step. Some councillors have suggested the town match dollar-for-dollar the amount of money raised by the board. Right now, that would equate to about $850 thousand.

Also this afternoon, councillors will get another look at the town's proposed operating and capital budgets, along with a proposed contract regarding the relocation and refurbishing of the tugboat Hallet and fire tower.

The meeting begins shortly after 4:00 p.m.  at the Civic Centre.
