PERTH — The Town of Perth is inviting residents to attend an upcoming open house to learn more about the proposed Environmental Services Shop Reconstruction Project.
The Environmental Services Shop plays a key role in supporting essential municipal services, including roads, water and sewer infrastructure, winter maintenance, traffic control, event support and more.
The town’s existing Environmental Services Garage was built in the 1960s. In 2022, the second-storey mezzanine was deemed unsafe for occupancy due to non-compliance with the Ontario Building Code, requiring staff to vacate the space. To maintain day-to-day operations, the town implemented a temporary solution by renting a trailer.
The proposed project would replace the existing facility with a modern, safe and code-compliant building designed to support current and future operational needs.
An open house will take place Tuesday, May 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the POA courtroom at Town Hall, 80 Gore St. E.
The session will provide residents with an opportunity to:
- Learn about the background and need for the project;
- Review draft design drawings and site plans; and,
- Speak directly with town staff and ask questions.
The project has progressed through feasibility, needs assessment and design development, and is currently in the final stages of design.
Residents unable to attend the open house are encouraged to visit the project page at Engage.Perth.ca/ESShopProject to review materials and learn more.
