Voters have given the go ahead to borrowing money for a cultural centre in Vernon, but a local politician says nothing will happen quickly.
Re-elected Area B director — and RDNO chair — Bob Fleming says the second element is to raise the rest of the cost.
“The project is predicted to be about a 40 million dollar project. The loan authorization was for up to 25 million, which means there’s a significant fundraising effort that’s needed and that is not just private fundraising but it will mean grant applications to senior level of governments as well.”
RDNO has said work on the new building won’t start until all of the funding has been secured which could take a few years.
