A management company has been chosen for the Okanagan Regional Library project in Vernon. TASK Construction Management out of Burnaby has been awarded the contract to oversee the 11-million dollar building of the new downtown library. Councillor Shawn Lee says the company has dealt with big Vernon projects before, the Wesbild Centre and the Performing Arts Centre. Lee says the company has a good reputation in this region. TASK’s next step will be working with the O-R-L to hire an architect to design the facility. Construction is expected to begin in March 2012 with an opening date sometime in 2013.Meanwhile, library board chairman Ted Bacigalupo says the alternate approval process to borrow the funds for construction is going well. The O-R-L hopes to move quickly to hire an architect and have drawings for the board to review by fall.
