Espanola’s Public Works Shop Project could be a major project in 2026-2027

Depending on financing and the outcome of studies, the shop that now houses vehicles and equipment at Espanola’s Public Works site could be one of the largest capital projects for the municipality in 2026-27.
Town CAO and Clerk Joe Burke says pre-design as well as schematics development will take place this year at an estimated cost of $167,500 plus tax.
Burke says the detailed design could then be undertaken in 2026 and the project would be considered “shelf-ready” for construction in 2027 should funds become available.
He says the information needed about the building, which will be established in the pre-design work, will give the municipality a true sense of where things are at with the building, which was last assessed in 2018.
He adds council will also need to entertain financing if the decision is made to move ahead with the project.
