Complex phase two is a go!
Province comes through with $684,000
by Pat Livingston
It was a group of people with
• soaring' spirits and happy faces that
greeted Paul 'Klopp, Huron 'MPP,
when he made the official announ-
cement last Thursday that the
province would be investing
$684,000 in the phase two.construc-
tion of the Lucknow sports
complex. The funding is through
jobsOrtutrio Community Action.
"I am delighted that the Ontario
government is able to support this
project," said Klopp. "It shows that
communities. in Bruce and Huron
counties can work together on a
project that.benefits everyone. This
project will create jobs. It will also
pla.y'a pivotal role in the economic
renewal or the area. 'Its improved
facilities will enhance the area's
potential to' host events 'year-round
and attract more visitors."
"It's good to have jobsOntario as
a partner,", said Barry Johnston,.
chair of the phase two committee.
"It's a great day for, Lucknow, to
know„ that this project will go
ahead. We needed that money."
A great deal of time and effort by
the committee was put into the
application for funding. Since set up
in. May, the committee has been
meeting about three times a week.
Klopp complimented the committee,
saying that the application was one
of the best ever submitted to obtain
funds.
Along with the $640,000 commit-
ment ' from the four sharing
municipalities (Lucknow, Ashfield,
Kinloss and West Wawanosh) and
various service clubs, Johnston said
they now have $1.324 million ear-
marked for the project.
It's full speed ahead, now that
funding is in place. Johrrston said
tenders will be put by Nov. 16 to
be submitted by Dec. 1. Half of the
jobsOntario funding must be spent
by Mar. 31, 1995. In effect, being
spent could mean having that dollar.
value of materials on site, not
necessarily erected.
'Multiplex Engineering Ltd. of
Port Elgin has been hired as the
facilitator of the project.
The committee at one point was
looking at running the new ice.
surface in a north -south direction,
Johnston said after drilling test
holes it was determined that was
not feasible, due to what was found
underground. At that time, the
squash court, would have had to be
moved as well.
The arena ice surface will now be
built 'to the west of the existing.
newer section, said Johnston. The
conduit running in that area is not a
concern because it will be under
neath the warm room.
The new building will be three
feet inside the agricultural society
gates, necessitating .the closing of
that lancway. By building to the
west, Johnston said. there is a
savings of $120,000 by not having
to move the squash court.
Incorporated in the construction
will be a multi-purpose room, first
aid and comfort room, and a
tourism centre.
Johnston said that various contin-
gencies have been built into the
plan that could be removed, depen-
ding on how high the tender prices
come in at.
Completion date for the project is
Sept. 1, 1995,
Other partners in the project, in
addition to the provincial and
municipal governments are the local
Legion, Lions, Lucknow Craft
Festival and the Kinsmen.
