Our Municipal Leaders have decided to hold onto and improve the Whalen building. Council voted in favour of a recommendation that will see the city spend over 9 million dollars over the next 20 years in capital improvements to the building. Councillor Rebecca Johnson voted against the plan saying that money could be better spent on other projects instead of propping up a 100 year old building. Administration predicts that keeping the building will bring profits to the city through taxes and leasing out office space.
