Chester: 'Our Health Centre' Striving Towards Financial Goal


Proponents with 'Our Health Centre' in Chester have raised just over $2.2-million towards the facility. The community group is proposing a $6-million health facility near Shoreham Village. The group presented to the municipality on Thursday, giving an update on their progress. They have roughly 60 letters of support towards their initiative and are requesting $1-million from council. Warden Allen Webber feels they should support the project. However, council will wait until budget discussions to decide.



The centre would feature enough space for six doctors offices, examining rooms and blood collection. If the municipality does decide to commit $1-million and can raise enough money, the group hopes to have the project complete late in 2015.
