Mise aux normes de l’hôtel de ville: les coûts explosent à 80 M$
AI Article Summary

The costs for upgrading the city hall have escalated to a minimum of $80 million from an initial estimate of $23 million. The budget increase is due to structural issues discovered during demolition and rising labor costs, and the project has experienced significant delays. The municipality has renewed its lease at an alternative location through the end of 2028 while preparing a public tender for the renovation work. The project faced setbacks, including severed ties with the initial architectural firm, but the city claims its current planning processes are more focused and timely.
