Work on the Woodall Community Complex has been pushed into overdrive. Councillor Paul Plant received approval from City Council to go ahead with the required geotechnical investigation, Environmental Impact Study, archeological study and topographic survey for the complex in the fall of this year at a cost of $120,000. Plant says his feeling is their could be federal funding coming as Canada's 150th anniversary approaches so he wants to have the project shovel ready. "It's just to potentially get it ready so that if something comes up where we could get a third, a third and a third from the province the feds and us then that's good money." Plant says the other community complex was started as a grass roots project, and all of the sudden there was a little funding available and the project took off. "That basically happened in two phases. The first sort of catalyst was Fanshawe College and a satellite campus and the daycare and the second catalyst was another program for the arenas so that could be the same thing here." City Engineer Harold de Haan says there is still money left for reserve capital projects in the budget for this year to cover surveys. The Complex was originally slated for budget deliberations for the 2014 fiscal year.
