Town Council in St. Stephen is waiting for the province and Ottawa to announce funding to save the old Town Hall.

The council voted 5-1 to enter an agreement with Heritage Developments Ltd. of Moncton to save the old municipal building which is a national heritage site. The town has agreed to put up $100,000 towards the $350,000 cost to stablize the building before winter. ACOA and the provincial Regional Development Corporation are expected to announce their shares soon, according to Mayor Allan MacEachern.
