Cypress County council moved to allocate up to $50,000 and directed administration to hire a consultant to carry out a combined public consultation and stakeholder engagement for both the proposed Dunmore recreation facility and Dunmore indoor horseback riding arena at its June 4 meeting.
The public engagement was felt necessary because it will determine the county residents’ level of support for using public money for the capital construction and annual operating costs of two Dunmore facilities.
