While the road will remain open throughout the project, occasional lane restrictions may be in place. For more information about the project, please click here.

• The Township of Centre Wellington has six existing works facilities that were integrated into the Township of Centre Wellington through amalgamation. Some of these older facilities are 50 to 60 years old, are at or above capacity, are in deteriorating condition and are reaching the end of their service life.
• To address the issues, the Centre Wellington Council Strategic Plan 2019-2022 provided a strategic direction and initiative to open a new operations facility. To further that initiative, a space needs assessment and concept design study was completed. The study identified space requirements for the 20-year timeframe to accommodate Township staff, vehicles, equipment and material requirements for multiple departments including for growth to 2041.
• The recommended option from this study is to build a new multi-departmental Operations Centre in two phases on a 20 acre centrally located site.
• A site selection process led to the purchase of a 20-acre site located at 965 Gartshore Street in Fergus for the future Operations Centre.
• The required technical site studies and the re-zoning of the property were completed in 2023.
• The next phase of the project will include issuing a Request for Proposal to retain the design team and construction management team to complete the pre-construction phase of the project which is planned to be issued during Winter 2024.
