Thursday, May 8, 2008FORT FRANCES—The town discussed the viability of repairing, replacing, or removing the government dock at Pither’s Point during a public meeting Wednesday night at the Civic Centre.
Remedial repairs and upgrades are slated to cost $770,000 while replacing the entire dock would cost an estimated 1.5 million. Removing the dock would cost $290,000.
“I can pretty safely say, with the host of unknowns going on out there, we’re not going to spend a whack of money on the dock,” Fort Frances CAO Mark McCaig said Wednesday night.
