BACKGROUND:
The Union Station Grand Ballroom is a historic venue used for weddings and special events through a contract with Mistwood Golf Club since 2016. This historic space features a large ceiling space that hasn’t been painted since the 1980’s and has damage from smoke stains and water leaks over the years. The ceiling height requires lifts be used during this project. One coat of paint will be a stain blocker and then two coats of flat paint to follow. There is a limited timeframe to complete this work to not interfere with scheduled events. The work is expected to be completed in late December.
The Public Assets Committee reviewed this item on October 21, 2024, and it was recommended to Council for approval.
