District of Chetwynd advances new town hall project
Contingencies cover overruns as bids exceed $2 million over the original $3.9 million plan. The district budgets $5.3 million, construction starts April 2014, with Southwest Design and Construction of Grande Prairie as builder. Changes included removing a $95,000 sound system and a staff gym. The Chamber of Commerce loses tourism duties to the district, provoking concern and calls for ongoing cooperation. The VIC will be housed in the new municipal building once completed.
