Is the Charlotte County Civic Centre Project Inc. supported by the provincial and federal governments?
Both governments have told us very clearly that they are supportive in general of the project but will not make a financial commitment until the local area has made their financial commitment. To date the Town of St. Stephen has made that commitment, as have two large service clubs – Kiwanis and Rotary. We have now embarked on a $3.5 million major fund-raising campaign to prove that local support. Importantly, all commitments made to that effort are fully refundable if the project cannot proceed, or if the donor chooses not to continue support. In a perfect world we would have the guaranteed support of the two other levels of government before we asked local businesses and individuals, but that is not how they work.
