The new multi-purpose hall in Sortland may be delayed by three months due to the zoning plan being withdrawn from consultation because it included a state-secured outdoor recreation area. The zoning plan may now be adopted in June, shifting the project timeline. Originally, site work was set to start July 3 with completion December 6, 2026; now start is October 12 with completion March 27, 2027. The delay may increase costs for the municipality due to indexation.
