Peter McIntyre Tuesday, 28 April 2009 107.5 KISSFM:
A new community gathering space near Vernon city hall and the library has got the go ahead, but a second part of the project has been put on hold. The city is proceeding with plans for the Spirit Square costing a half million dollars with half of that coming from a provincial grant. Acting mayor Patrick Nicol says plans for a Civic Plaza, costing $670,000, will wait until grants or other funding sources are secured. "And if there is anything further to take place, there has to be a serious discussion on the budget item for the rest of the vision which is to grass-in areas, to retain boardwalks, and do a number of things." Nicol says the long term goal is to connect the civic complex buildings with Cenotaph Park, using a boardwalk.
