Penhold to open $8.7-million public services building Aug. 14
The new facility will house the town's protective services and operations departments under one roof. Residents are invited to a ribbon-cutting, tour and BBQ to mark the opening.
The Town of Penhold is inviting residents to the grand opening of its new Public Services Building on Aug. 14 at 3 p.m., with Mayor Mike Yargeau and council hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The building will centralize the town's protective services and operations departments in a single, purpose-built facility. Mayor Yargeau said the project reflects the town's commitment to providing safe and effective services while giving staff and first responders the space and resources needed to serve the community.
The town says the centralized location also gives the municipality more flexibility going forward. The project came in under budget, costing roughly $8.7 million compared to an initial estimate of $9.5 million. Funding included about $2 million from infrastructure grants, $3.5 million in borrowed funds, with the remainder drawn from municipal reserves.
Following the ribbon-cutting, attendees are invited to stay for a tour of the new facility and a barbecue.
