The Township Council is pleased to announce that a new Municipal Office and Child Care Centre will be constructed at 163 Brock Street in Thamesford. Council awarded the contract to Paulsan Construction Ltd. from Brantford to construct the 19,760 ft2 building. Total project cost is estimated to be $6.5 million and will start in November of 2022, and will take approximately one year.
The YMCA of Southwestern Ontario will operate the 88 space child care facility on behalf of the Township. It is expected the child care facility will open in the spring of 2024. Click here to add a name to the waiting list for care at the new facility.
The Township Council has made a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2040. The projected life span of the facility is over 50 years and will help the Township achieve its goal. The Township will also be price protected from energy and hydro price increases over the life of the building. The 19,760 ft2 building will be heated and cooled by renewable energy and will have a rooftop solar component. After one year of operation, the needs will be reviewed and the provision for additional rooftop solar to achieve full net zero energy use will be explored.
