On July 1, the staff of the Nelson City Council will have a spacious new home. On that date the new offices of the council will be opened. The building of the new offices has proceeded quite unobtrusively until the stage was reached earlier this month when the finishing touches were added to the interior. We've captured on film these last stages of the work. Next month we hope to give a more complete coverage of this fine new building.
