Town hall project to proceed after budget squeeze
Preparations for a new municipal office building have stretched over 25 years. Original estimates were 3.9 million for construction, furnishings, and landscaping. Bids exceeded budget by over 2 million, forcing design cuts including a 95,000 sound system, a staff gym, and a rock façade. Construction shifts to spring when weather permits.
Municipal hall project timeline and funding data
The council authorized the project in November 2012 and again in October 2013 after initial tenders exceeded budget by over two million. A Grande Prairie firm Southwest Design & Construction was named to build, with final approval in March 2014. Funding totals include 2012 to 2015 allocations and a sustainability reserve of 865,978 in 2015.
