Council learned the City application for a federal grant under the has failed.

In a report to Council submitted in September 2020, Staff noted that: “The Community Arts Council faces a number of challenges for service delivery at Studio 2880 due to the building’s age, layout, and location which limits universal access, public programming, and proximity to compatible uses.

A preferred new location for the CAC was identified at the existing City-owned 1310 3rd Avenue building. A feasibility study was pursued to identify the redevelopment requirements for this location as a new creative arts hub to serve the Prince George region. The study informed the submission of a grant application to the ICIP – CCR for project funding that would facilitate design works in 2021, followed by construction in 2022 and 2023.”
