Polson to go ahead


The improvement project in Polson Park will be undertaken by the city of Vernon instead of the regional district. Councillor Jack Gilroy says NORD has agreed to let the city take the reins. He says " The city has the resources the region doesn't and the city people can build the things in Polson Park, so it's good for all the North Okanagan that they'll take it over and get it done after a three year wait." Mayor Wayne Lippert says the first phase of improvements will start next year, with washrooms added, and improvements to the bandstand. Funding will come from the grandstand insurance settlement.
