County council has asked staff to begin the process of marketing the former Coronation Park Day Nursery at 1014 Oak Ave. in Sarnia.
The process is similar to other public buildings such as the former St Patricks High School property.
It has to be offered to other public stakeholders for 90 days before going on the open market.
Lambton County Council voted to close the facility last September because the day care was running a deficit of more than $1-million.
The facility closed its doors on November 28, 2014.
