One Step Closer....

Lincoln, ON

11/12/2012

MEDIA RELEASE At a Special Meeting of Council held on December 10, 2012, Council awarded the Design-Build Request for Proposal for the Town of Lincoln Community Complex to Schilthuis Construction Inc. of Ancaster. Over the next week staff will work toward completion of a contract with Schilthuis. Once a contract is signed the Town will have completed another step toward attaining a Community Complex for the Town of Lincoln. Located in a large park setting on a section of the Beamsville Fairgrounds recently acquired by the Town, the new facility will house an arena and library as well as much needed community space. The Community Complex will have a total floor area of approximately 67,172 square feet – the ground level with approximately 51,163 square feet and the second level with approximately 16,019 square feet. The final design and assigned space will be completed over the next few months. To keep the project focused as it progresses, Council developed and adopted a vision statement and a basic set of project principles. The vision for the project is to construct a replacement arena and library, and a new community space within the new Northwest Neighbourhood Park. Principles established are used to ensure that the construction of this multipurpose facility will employ a smart design process to maximize the range of functions and inclusive space. It will be a “People Place” promoting community pride, participation and a sense of belonging while encouraging walkability and revitalization of the core. Pre-construction work will be undertaken in the new year with a view to breaking ground next spring. Partial funding for this $15,000,000 project will be provided by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities who has committed 33.3% of eligible costs. The remainder will come from long term financing and proceeds from a Capital Campaign. The Council is excited about the project and is very appreciative of the input received from a wide range of community groups to date. Mayor Hodgson said: “This is an important step toward achieving the completion of a People Place in the heart of the former Beamsville Fairgrounds. Council looks forward to successful completion of this facility that will serve the needs of the area for generations to come.” For addition information, please visit our Community Complex Page or contact: Mayor Bill Hodgson Town of Lincoln 4800 South Service Road Beamsville, Ontario L0R 1B1 Tel: (905) 563-8205 Anne Louise Heron, Chief Administrative Officer Town of Lincoln 4800 South Service Road Beamsville, Ontario L0R 1B1 Tel: (905) 563-8205
