basic facility at a cost of $5.7 million and then Infrastructure Ontario (IO), as the projectmanager, would spend themoney needed for improvements to the building to meet OPP needs. The other “turnkey” option has the town responsible for all of the construction with IO as project man- ager. The province would then pay back the municipality for the improvements through the rent payments during the first 10 years of the lease contract on the building. The report recommends the turnkey option for building construction because there are better cost controls and proj- ect scheduling for the municipality. The remaining question is how to pay for building a new station. The report pre- sented several possible funding options based on a 20-year leasing arrangement and how the cost for a new police station along with several other major capital projects in the works now would affect the town’s future borrowing capacity.

Getting a new Ontario Provincial Police station for Hawkesbury will not be a sim- ple matter. A report presented to the United Coun- ties of Prescott-Russell suggests the town seek help financing the project. The re- port notes that the best design for a new station, using the one in Long Sault as a model, would have a projected price tag of close to $10 million. That figure includes an estimated $3 million to $4 million for the improvements to the basic building design itself to meet the needs of a po- lice station. The overall proposal is for a 20,000-square-foot building, located on a lot of at least three acres to provide ad- equate parking and be located with easy access to the highway. One of two options for building the new station would have the town build the
