Town of Princeton council meeting: logging, equipment purchases, and construction

Quick view

The Town of Princeton council met on March 16th to discuss several important items. One of the main topics was a request from the Princeton Golf Club to log a portion of land adjacent to the 14th fairway. The club wants to create a Fire Smart barrier and improve sunlight and air movement on the fairway. The council approved the request. The council also discussed the purchase of a replacement sewer flushing equipment. The current equipment was destroyed during the November 2021 flood, and the town needs a new one to clear and clean sewer mains and services. The council awarded the purchase to West Vac Industries for $110,500 plus tax. Additionally, the council approved the award of Architectural and Structural Engineering Services for the new Public Works Shop to Cornerstone Contract Services for $4,800 with an additional estimated $8,200 for onsite inspections and field reviews.
