That site, entering off of what is essentially a subterranean tunnel, might be a hard sell. Government services are less sensitive to aesthetic considerations.
The municipality could amalgamate various downtown resources to within a block of City Hall.
It has a substantial footprint in the City Centre: Audit Services, By-Law, Budget & Taxes, Forestry, Horticulture, Licensing & Permits, Municipal Law Enforcement, Roads & Maintenance, & Waste Management all call 77 James North home.
If that building sells to be redeveloped, the City may be looking for somewhere new to hang their hat.
