A special city council meeting devoted solely to discuss the Junction East project has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday beginning at 4 p.m. 

The meeting had originally been scheduled to take place on April 5, but was postponed due to staff requiring more time to “ensure all details are as up to date as possible and that council and the public are provided a very comprehensive presentation,” a city spokesperson noted at the time.

Junction East is a proposed 62,000-square-foot municipal building to be located on Shaughnessy Street in downtown Sudbury and is expected to include a new central library, the Art Gallery of Sudbury and potential future partners including the Sudbury Theatre Centre and Sudbury Multicultural and Folk Arts Association. 

Tuesday’s meeting is projected to provide “a very comprehensive picture of the project, where it stands in terms of design, in terms of cost, in terms of options such as what we discussed this evening on energy efficiency and sustainability,” Strategic Initiatives, Communications and Citizen Services director Ian Wood said last month.

Around that time, a preliminary report was drafted by city administration that highlighted a net-zero carbon emissions plan option, which would add approximately $6.1 million to the project if fully realized.  

Tuesday’s meeting begins at 4 p.m. and a livestream of the meeting can be found by clicking here.
