The Junction East Cultural Hub project has been put on hold, with the $98.5-million building slated to be replaced by a smaller build costing $65 million.
The city has been directed to continue working with the project’s partners, including the Greater Sudbury Public Library, Sudbury Multicultural Folk Arts association and Art Gallery of Sudbury, to look at other options to pare its total cost down to $65 million. The project’s 104,000-square-foot incarnation approved by city council in June, 2022, included up to $37.2 million in “potential external funding,” which they’ve yet to secure from senior levels of government. Although Lefebvre clarified the city would continue advocating for government funding, at its new $65-million price point, they can proceed regardless.
Although the city has spent approximately $3.66 million on the Junction projects to date , Wood clarified these aren’t wasted dollars.
