At City Council to speak in favor of 670 King to unlock the project. A last minute agenda item: update on the new playhouse and costs now forecast to be $111m, up from $82m approved. #Fredericton stands to shoulder the extra costs with its contribution range now $28 to $53-million. Big swing.

Change to Terms & Conditions for Centennial Bldg. is on tonight's council agenda. As I read "670 King alternate recommendation with t and c 2025" and trace references to maps in other documents, there might be a path forward for the project. I might go in person. + #Fredericton
