While the preceding post provides the background of the heron's-head bombast - this post will just add how much the whole thing actually cost(s). Free as a bird? Not this one!
It all adds up to about $9000 and counting: not figured-in is the cost of the more recently installed black(?!) base, the yet to be installed name-and-whatever plaque and cosmetic work on the area around the whole thing.
So - $10.000 may do it. May!
All funded solely by the City of Nelson - the same Nelson in an economic malaise for some time, with no way out in sight.
No matter which reserve-fund is dipped into - these $10.000 smackers originally came from the major-art-work-appreciating tax-payer!
YOU!
