The site of the former Harriston Senior School could soon be a 23-unit townhouse development.
Quality Homes of Mount Forest, which is best known for its factory built homes, has a conditional offer on the property.
Mayor George Bridge says the proposed development provides the right mix of housing, particularly for seniors who want to live on one level.
The Harriston development, which is now in the planning stages, will offer two- and three-bedroom units.
