The municipality will now move forward with final design plans for the Chatham-Kent Community Hub following a marathon council meeting that saw nearly two dozen deputations opposing the project. During Monday’s meeting, Chatham-Kent Council voted 11-5 in favour of awarding a $2,177,683.46 contract to Architecturra Inc. for the completion of the detailed designs for the multi-year project that would see the Chatham-Kent Civic Centre, CK Public Library and CK Museum amalgamated into the former Sears building in downtown Chatham.
