Councillors Mark King, Chris Mayne, Scott Robertson and George Maroosis voted to move the redevelopment project forward.
Mayne told council during a special committee meeting of council Thursday that East Ferris and Mattawa have also rejected the financing option presented by Cassellholme Home for the Aged.
Council heard it’s not just the provincial guarantee that has some of the nine member municipalities upset, but the high cost of the redevelopment project worth $121.9 million.
The nine municipalities include North Bay, East Ferris, Bonfield, Papineau-Cameron, Chisholm, Calvin, Mattawa, Mattawan and South Algonquin.
Cassellholme is slated to have a special meeting Friday which could see the Cassellholme Board levy the nine municipalities, forcing them to pay for the project.
