The city’s chief magistrate is brushing off an 11th hour offer from the owners of the City Hall building.
They are offering up more space and renovations to keep the Police Department from moving to its proposed new headquarters at Peel Plaza — but — Mayor Ivan Court tells CHSJ News it’s too little – too late.
The Mayor says the city would have to forfeit 10-million dollars in provincial funding and face the loss of other potential funding for the Peel Plaza building.
And he says people have lost sight of the fact that every time there has been a change in location or design — it’s cost the city additional money.
Court says make no mistake — city police will be moving to a new building at Peel Plaza.
