Officials with the Waterfront Development office are scrambling to lower costs. They'll be working with Tom Jones Construction trying to find savings for work on Prince Arthur's Landing.Waterfront manager Katherine Dugmore says the bid for the project has come in 2 million dollars over the 12 and 3 quarter million that was originally budgeted. Tom Jones Construction General Manager, John Jones, says the company has met with waterfront officials to discuss potential savings and that some have been identified and seem reasonable. Where some of the cost savings have been identified Jones wouldn't say. He says those talks are continuing. The Prince Arthur's Landing project includes the splash pad and ice rink, along with the baggage building. The city hopes to award the contract at the June 21st. council meeting.
