Prince Edward County is hosting a workshop on the future of the Wellington Town Hall.
The Wellington Town Hall Expression of Interest (EOI) Working Group is asking residents to share their ideas and vision for the Town Hall.
The workshop will open with a short presentation followed by breakout groups where participants can respond to three questions related to the Wellington Town Hall and community space in the village:
What are the needs of the community/what is missing?
If money was not a factor, what would you do with the Wellington Town Hall?
What do you not want to see for the future use of the Wellington Town Hall?
The workshop and an open house in December are parts of the public outreach efforts of the Working Group.
County council struck the working group last year tasking it with providing recommendations to the content and scope of an EOI related to the future use and potential sale of the building.
Working group members include councillors Chris Braney and Corey Engelsdorfer and community members Jennifer Armstrong and Christina Zeidler.
A similar process was followed for the municipally-owned property at 282/284 Wellington Main Street (the former Wellington Convenience Store/Pizzeria). The municipality divested itself of the property through an EOI process after the formation of an internal working group and public consultation.
The workshop will be held February 4 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Wellington and District Community Centre (111 Belleville Street).
