Middlesex Centre – Municipal Minute
Spring updates from Middlesex Centre Renovated Municipal Office opens April 1 Over the past year-and-a-half, Middlesex Centre has been renovating the municipal office to meet the needs of our growing municipality. The municipal office has been enlarged to create new office spaces for the building, engineering and planning departments, and to add new, larger council chambers. A universal washroom and other accessibility features have been incorporated as part of the work. Renovation costs were covered by existing reserve funds and were not drawn from the tax levy. While the building was closed, the Coldstream Community Centre was refreshed with new windows, washrooms, floors, and paint. The community centre kitchen is scheduled to be updated later this year. With the renovations wrapping up, front desk services such as bill payments and general inquiries, meetings with staff members, and council meetings will be moving back to the Coldstream office this month. • Front desk services will start at the municipal office on April 1. Note that we will no longer be taking bill payments at the Komoka Wellness Centre. • Please check council meeting agendas to confirm the meeting location as we transition back to the office. • Although staff are moving back to the municipal office, we still recommend that you call or email ahead to make an appointment if you wish to speak to a specific staff member or department in person. We are excited about this renovation, which represents a significant long-term investment in the municipal office and will HAVE YOUR SAY
