City nixes plan to acquire CN Station due to high costs
North Battleford City Hall has decided to discontinue its plans to attempt to acquire the old Canadian National Railway (CN) station building after encountering a number of road blocks in the process.
City Planning and Development Director Jennifer Niesink reported at council’s meeting Monday that it’s anticipated there would be considerable high costs to take over and upgrade the site, located off Railway Avenue.
Mayor Ryan Bater reiterated Niesink’s comments following the meeting saying the price tag was a significant concern.
