Nov. 9 10am -8 pm - TWO LOCATIONS - Scugog Township Office & Nestleton Hall Port Perry Star Work on the township's new community hall will likely begin within the next couple of weeks. Scugog Township councillors meeting Monday afternoon approved a site plan for the new building, setting in motion the construction process. They made the move on the controversial project during what will likely be the final meeting of their current man- date, Oct. 31; the municipal election is slated to occur Nov. 12. Councillors approved the plan -- which is actually phase one of an ambitious project -- after hearing from the team of architects that have been con- tracted to draw up plans for the project. They learned that phase one of the project -- they've got fund- ing under the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works program for $850,000 worth of work -- will include the spacious, multi- use hall, as well as expanded " parking and some landscaping. The building will be erected next to the existing Scugog arenaon Reach St. in Port Perry. The first phase will involve the building, as well as creation of 117 parking spaces, 38 of them finished with asphalt and the remainder graveled. Sod will also be put in place. Final development of the project will include installation of interlocking stone for the building's entrance area, plant- ing of trees, installation of land- scaped islands in the parking lot, and paving of the parking And they were told by archi- tect Denny Bryan that once the site plan gained approval, con- struction would begin shortly. He said the plan is to get the project underway quickly so the majority of foundation and infrastructure work can be done before the snow flies. "We're proceeding post-haste right now to try and get as much work done as possible before winter sets in," said Mr. Bryan. Councillors heard that the very least that might be done before winter could be installa- tion of footings and storm drainage systems. Mayor Howard Hall is push- ing for the project to proceed. He said last week in announcing funding for the project that if all goes well, the walls and roof the building could be up "before Christmas". A motion to approve the site plan put forth by the architects was made by councillor Ken Gadsden (Ward 3); it passed unanimously when put to a vote. When completed the hall will be a multi-use facility open to local groups and sporting orga- nizations, as well as a dining and banquet hall that will have a capacity of 450. While the plan has come under attack from some quar- ters -- mayoral candidate David Malcolm says he'll try and kill it if elected -- councillors defend it as a much-needed township facility, first identified in a needs study carried out several years ago.
