The Town of Creston’s new Emergency Services Building (CESB) will have a bigger price tag.
In a Committee of the Whole Meeting held on Wednesday, February 24th, Council was presented with an increase in the budget for the structure that will house BC Ambulance and Creston Fire Rescue from $5.4 million to $7 million.
This comes after the tendering process produced only two bids last summer, both far exceeding the proposed cost by almost double.
As a result, design changes were made to further reduce spending. Firewise Consulting Director Ernie Polsom shared with the Technical Building Advisory Committee (TBAC) the stark reality of where the CESB project currently sits.
