Mrs. MacDonald said the expansion at the museum is "not just a matter of wanting wanting to ... we have to." She explained that Clarke has $1.5 million worth of artifacts in storage at the armories in Orono. The facility is currently up for sale and, once it is sola, the artifacts will need a new home. "The result of that is we undertook a needs study," she said. The study's objective objective was to determine if an expansion was required and what would be needed. Two consultants were hired as a requirement of the province whom the museum museum is seeking a funding grant from. The building consultant, who was looking into such things as what size the building needed to be for the artifacts the museum had, came back to the board with an estimate of $2 million. The fundraising consultant consultant told the board on Monday Monday night that the Clarke Museum will not be able to raise that much money. "Now we have to review where we are going from here," Mrs. Macdonald said. "Our intention has always always been that we would not be a burden on the community," community," she added. She explained that the jump in project costs was due to the fact that the half a million figure was old and that the collection at the museum has grown considerably considerably since the project was first proposed. And the expansion is needed, she stressed. "We really take our roles as guardians of artifacts seriously. seriously. You can't just move fragile items overnight." But she warned that this could happen to the items in the museum collection if the armories armories were sold. "Our first and foremost concern is finding a home for them.".
