Repairs to the roof of Shelburne’s Community Centre are expected to begin soon.
But Shelburne Mayor Karen Mattatall tells Acadia News it’s disappointing that it’s taken almost a year to get the work started.
The $500,000 in damage was caused by a winter storm early last January.
Mattatall says it’s been a big problem, especially for the ladies auxiliary of the fire department because they can’t do their fundraisers.
She says the damage goes beyond just the roof.
“H-VAC, electrical and gyproc. It’s disappointing that it’s taken this long for the insurance company to actually be able to start fixing the problems.”
She expects the repairs to the roof to be completed sometime next month.
