GORE BAY—Tenders for the design service and tender assistance for the Gore Bay downtown revitalization project have been approved by council.
“We had a total of four tenders, and the recommendation had been made by the public works and properties committee to council to award the tender to Exp,” said Gore Bay Mayor Ron Lane at a council meeting last week.
At a recent public works committee meeting, the committee recommended awarding the design service and tender assistance for the downtown revitalization project to Exp for a total of $72,960. Further, the project management phase is to be negotiated with Exp subject to the project moving forward with construction. The project would include redoing the sidewalks, curbs, pavement and other infrastructure in the area from the Gore Bay Medical Centre to Al’s Corner Garage (Meredith Street).
Council was told the town has made an application for funding to the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) for second phase funding, and if the application is successful council will be able to discuss going forward with the project.
