PRINCE GEORGE – With plenty of discussions, additional funds were committed to demolishing the Four Seasons Leisure Pool and Fire Hall #1. But the vote was not unanimous.
There is history with this story.
When the City went to referendum for the new pool, approval was given to borrow $35 million to build a new pool, with another seven million dollars set aside to buy the Days Inn, demolish the Days Inn as well as demolish the Four Seasons Leisure Pool. However, when the demolition of the hotel began, there were several “surprises.” Additional concrete removal, which appeared to be used as fill as opposed to gravel, added $285,900 to the bill. The concrete grout contained asbestos and special health and safety measures had to be introduced at a cost of $537,350 and sporadic vermiculite was found throughout the building at a cost of $172,330.
