His Worship Mayor Panciuk introduced the issue of the sale of 132 Pinnacle Street (Legion 99) and 15 Market Square (Memorial Arena), summarizing the process that Council had followed to this point. Mayor Panciuk allowed all members of Council the opportunity to speak to the issue.
Members of Council spoke on this resolution and a Recorded Vote was requested.
All on council thanked the public for their input, and there were thousands of comments on the issue from the public, both in person, in writing, and online.
TaskForce’s proposal would have an indoor concourse with a market place on the ground floor of the Memorial with a retail/business area on the second floor, along with a mezzanine open to the concourse below. The plan also called for 20 to 24 affordable housing units in the Legion building with a focus on accommodation for seniors.
The company says it would take two to three years to complete the project.
Taskforce Engineering Director of Engineering Hilary Murphy told Quinte News both buildings would be maintained.
