The Finance and Corporate Services Committee today approved acquiring land for a new civic complex and LRT Station in Barrhaven.
The 1.7-hectare parcel of vacant land is located northwest of the future Chapman Mills Drive and Riocan Avenue. It would be purchased from the South Nepean Development Corporation for just over $10 million, in line with both an internal City appraisal and a third-party independent appraisal of the property. The City received funding for the project from the Investing In Canada Infrastructure Program.
The proposed civic complex is in the preliminary design stages and an LRT station design would follow. A quarter-hectare park is also proposed.
