A new engineering report will help move the Charlotte County Civic Centre on to the next phase. Chair of the Board of Directors Richard Fulton says an independent assessment from engineering firm Jacques Whitford shows the preferred Budd Avenue site is suitable for construction. The report concludes the site has traces of environmental con-tamination but falls within the environmental guidelines for commercial construction.
The Town will hold an open house to discuss this latest development next Thursday at the St. Stephen Legion.
