Grants, funding, financial commitments. No matter how you say it money is the focus of the Moose Jaw Multiplex Committee right now as they try to secure enough funds to help build a 40 million dollar multipurpose facility.
The project was approved by Moose Jaw City Council in December with a 15 million-dollar commitment. The rest needs to come from government grants or public fundraising.
Committee Co-chair Ray Boughen says they don’t plan to kick off the fundraising campaign just yet. “We’re going to do that later on in the spring probably in March. We have a couple of issues we have to come to grips with before we go to the general public and that'll be a March date."
Those issues are securing enough funds from the provincial and federal governments. Boughen says both levels have shown interest how much funding that turns into is still up in the air. "Both levels of government have looked favorably upon the project and I'm sure there will be financial involvement there but we're just not sure of what it will be at this time."
