In a news release, the county and Stepping Stone say they have been working with Grinham Architects on this project.

They say the current zoning on the two-storey building allows them to construct one additional floor.

Construction is being pegged at around $3.5 million, excluding furniture, equipment, design costs, permit fees and HST.

The county said it was able to secure $3.94 million in capital funding.

Work on the addition is expected to be completed by February 2025.
