Consultation has concluded
A first report was presented to City Council on Sept. 21 that provided a recommendation for the future of Victoriaville Centre. Council will be asked to decide on one of the four options on Oct. 19.
The FINAL reportlooks at what options are possible for a revitalized Victoriaville that are economically and pragrammatically sound, and enjoy broad community support. Four feasible options for the Centre were prepared and analyzed based on public input, stakeholder input, and evaluation criteria to make a decision on the future of Victoriaville Centre.
More information will be posted once a final project plan is in place.
Victoriaville Centre has been losing money for many years. Internal projections suggest that the Centre will continue to lose money at an escalating rate – from a $689,000 operating loss in 2016 to an estimated $824,000 operating loss projected for 2025. Total losses over a ten-year period are estimated by the City at approximately $9.3 million.
Significant stakeholder and community engagement was undertaken in 2016 regarding the possible demolition of the Victoriaville Centre. A public presentation was delivered to approximately 150 attendees and an additional 1300 questionnaires were received in person and online. Almost 9 out of 10 respondents indicated that the Victoriaville Centre does not improve the downtown South Core, does not provide sufficient public benefit relative to it’s operating deficit, and that the cost to demolish and reopen Victoria Avenue is justified by cost savings over time.
Many respondents felt that Victoriaville Centre actually hastened the decline of the South Core rather than improving it. Support to demolish and restore Victoria Avenue appears to be widespread.
