LANCASTER – Four years in the making, South Glengarry will break ground this spring for its $1.3 million public works garage on Airport Road.
A Cornwall construction company will build the facility at 19628 Airport Road.
Grant Marion Construction on Marleau Avenue was the lowest of six bidders for the project at $1,179,000 and also scored highest in an evaluation by municipal staff, council heard last week while approving the tender.
Six companies bid for the project and Infrastructure GM Ewen MacDonald told council it was very competitive.
MacDonald says they are going to rely on Grant Marion to suggest any energy efficiencies, like radiant floor heating, that can be added to the building through change orders while still keeping within the bid price.

LANCASTER – After 29 years with the Township of South Glengarry, the general manager of infrastructure services has taken part in his final council meeting.
Ewen MacDonald started as a roads superintendent in 1992 and then became public works director in 1999 after amalgamation. He was also a director on the board of Ontario Good Roads Association for number of years.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Ewen for 25 years of this working career and I can honestly say I will certainly miss having your around the township office,” Mayor Frank Prevost said during a retirement presentation on Tuesday night (Feb. 16).

LANCASTER – A municipal restructuring in South Glengarry that eliminated three positions won’t see two of those employees going very far.
The shuffle, originally drafted by CAO Tim Mills, eliminates the economic development and communications positions. The general manager of infrastructure duties are being divvied up to the managers of waterworks and roads/waste after Ewen MacDonald retires.
The reorganization also creates a deputy clerk, a deputy treasurer, an accounts receivable clerk and a GIS planning technician.
On Monday night, council approved the hiring of Shauna Baggs as the deputy clerk, who had held the economic development portfolio. Baggs has held a number of roles in SD&G and was a municipal services assistant with South Stormont from 2007-2013.
