Goderich Studies County Request For Possible Land Purchase

Goderich council has received a letter from Huron County regarding the possible purchase of land on the Victoria Public School site.

Goderich CAO Larry McCabe says there's still about five acres on the site behind the new hotel, and staff have been asked to look at the possible advantages or disadvantages to the town selling that land privately, likely for residential development, or sell it to the county.

The county is currently undergoing a review of its facilities and has inquired about the possibility of purchasing that land for county offices.

McCabe explains, "Town staff will be reviewing all of the material from the county with regard to the facilities review that the county's been looking at, including accommodation review, meeting with county staff at the appropriate time and making a report back to council as to the most appropriate use and development of that site."
