Murray Driscoll isn't ready to close the door on more funding for the Q-Plex. This after the provincial and federal governments each invested 6.2 million dollars into a new civic centre in St. Stephen. The Mayor of Quispamsis tells CHSJ News, he hasn't received any official word that there is no more money to spend and is going to make an approach. The much anticipated complex has already received 3.3 million in federal funding, as well as a 2.3 million dollar low interest loan from the feds. The province has kicked in 3 million dollars towards the facility.

The original design for the Q-Plex has come up $2.7 million dollars short and the Town has sent back the blue-prints to see what adjustments can be made to bring it with-in budget.
