Cadillac Civic Center roof project targets completion by month-end amid location contingency plans

In a recent meeting of the Wexford County Board of Commissioners, discussions centered around the urgent need for repairs to the Civic Center roof, with hopes to complete the project by the end of the month. The ongoing work is crucial not only for the facility's functionality but also for upcoming community events that rely on the Civic Center as a venue.

Joe, a representative involved in the project, indicated that alternative locations are being explored in case the roof repairs are not finished on time. The Cadillac Visitors Bureau and local chamber of commerce have been contacted to assess potential backup venues, including the armory, although its capacity remains uncertain. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the need for a protective roof cover, even if the final metal roofing is not installed immediately.

In addition to the roof discussions, the meeting included a public comment segment where representatives from Team Humanity emphasized the importance of inclusivity within the community. Their message resonated with the audience, highlighting the need for unity across diverse groups in Wexford County and beyond.

The meeting concluded without any formal correspondence, but the discussions reflected a proactive approach to addressing community needs and fostering a spirit of togetherness. As the board moves forward, the completion of the Civic Center roof remains a priority, with the potential for broader community engagement on the horizon.
