Grimsby greenlights Peach King expansion grant application By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Working to very tight deadlines, Town of Grimsby has approved a submission for a Peach King Centre expansion grant application. The proposed project would serve nine of 10 identified needs highlighted in the Recreation Master Plan which
was completed this spring, said Sarah Sweeney, director of Recreation while making a presentation to council on Monday night. The federal grant program - which included two-thirds federal funding - was rolled out in June and has a Nov. 12 deadline, said Sweeney, noting programs with that level
of coverage are rare. Some of the items included in the expansion proposal are: a full-size, dividable gym; indoor walking track; multiuse rooms; youth room; preschool space; rooftop leisure space, and; general facility upgrades including parking. The budgeted cost - which includes contracting a proj-
ect manager - is $22 million. The town portion of the bill would be $5.87 million with the remainder being picked up by the federal and provincial governments. “We don’t want it just to be accessible, we want people to want to come through the doors,” said Sweeney. See PKC, Page 3
