NDCC ice plant needs major repairs

Last week the Regional District awarded a $117,000 contract to Cimco Refrigeration to do the work.

The money comes from the operating budget so it won’t have any tax implications.

Chirico told the Board the problem lay in the original installation, but the company that did it no longer exists.
