The thought process of creating a new Public Works Operation began back in 2014 when the city started their transit oriented development planning process. The new Public Works Operations Facility will be located at 665 Alton Brooks Way. “Every inch of this project has been carefully designed to ensure that it will allow our department to provide the highest quality of service to our residents,” Stewart said. “It’s going to minimize the need to contract out maintenance work on city vehicles and the salt shed will be large enough to hold the amount of salt that we need to keep our roads safe throughout the entire winter. But most importantly our city staff will finally have the facility they need to perform their jobs at the highest level possible and I hope that it becomes a huge sense of pride for you.” The contractor for the $20 million project is Millennium Builders Inc. Stewart is hoping the facility will be done in a year but there is no definitive date as of yet.
