1. Who is responsible for this project?

The Halton Hills Public Library Board is ultimately responsible for the Georgetown Branch Renovation/Expansion project. However, the Board has delegated responsibility for overseeing the details of this project to the Georgetown Branch Planning Committee. The Committee is comprised of members of the Library Board, senior Library and Town staff, and the architects of Chamberlain Architect Services Ltd. The public will also be consulted at key points in the design process. Together those responsible for the project will ensure that the new Georgetown Branch is functional, accessible, attractive, and that it complements the historic features of the church.

2. What will the project cost?

I have received a number of queries about the cost of this project. Accurate cost estimates will not be available until the design is finalized. These costs will be presented to the Library Board and Council before construction commences. The budget approved by Council as part of their Library Facilities Financing presentation in January 2006 is $8 million.
