Floreat Grimsby In Medio Horti
With the Public Works Committee meeting discussing the future of the Irish Woodlot coming up on August 16th, we thought we would bring back a couple articles that give a little history on the beginnings and battle to protect these precious lands.
Well, summertime may be upon us and while many of us be in vacation mode, things may be a little slower at Town Hall as well… but the meetings must go on (albeit on a summer schedule).
Town Council takes a final seating on Monday June 19th, 2017 before taking a short break for a month. While most of the agenda is just a “pass-through” of the items covered in recent committee meanings, there are a few notable items that caught our eye.
This week brings us meetings of many of the Town Committees and they sure look to have an interesting lineup… a little something for everyone it seems.

Public Works Minutes Discussion
Mr. LeRoux presented a few details of the $8M ($5M with “other projects”) Winston Road reconstruction. Costs will be covered through Development Charges (92%), outside contributions ($1.3M) and $600K from the Town. Since DC’s won’t all be received at the time construction starts this June, short term borrowing will need to be put in place with interest payments charged back to DC’s. Potential of 5-8 years to recoup the costs in a “hot” market, and up to 20 years if things slow down (highly probable). Apparently Public Works does not expect too many “extras” and has set aside a small contingency ($100K) for possible overruns.
Town Council will be meeting on Monday, May 15th @ 7PM
