DELEGATIONS
Valentine Lovekin appeared before Council on behalf of the Newcastle BIA regarding
the proposed Newcastle Library. Mr. Lovekin noted that although he recognizes the
vision that Council has and that he supports the concept of the library, he has the
following issues:
1. Council should look at the sites proposed in the context of the economic
development of Clarington. He has concerns with the impact on the downtown
core;
2. Proposed site has great expansion possibility. This may not be an appropriate
concern. Newcastle will grow but the library does not have to grow at the same
pace;
