West Kelowna council has approved spending almost a million dollars to proceed with project design plans for its first new city hall.
The building would have 45-thousand square feet, 30,000 of which would be owned by the city and 15,000 owned by the Okanagan Regional Library.
The timeline is to have it built and open by winter 2022.
The location is the Westbank Centre at 3731 Old Okanagan Highway and adjacent to the city’s Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre (JBMAC),
Council has also said a new skate-park will be built as the building will take up the current skate-park location at Old Okanagan and Dobbin. ....
