How much is that? Wasaga Beach wants to know
Wasaga Beach is hiring an appraiser to determine the value of land identified as the site of the municipality’s proposed community hub.
In a special committee of the whole meeting, July 6, councillors accepted a recommendation to advertise for an appraiser, after concerns were raised about sole-sourcing the appraisal service to a Barrie firm proposed by the town’s chief administrative officer.
George Vadeboncoeur said seven Main Street landowners have been informed the town is interested in buying the properties for a facility that could include a double rink, library, and cultural space.
The appraisals, he said, would form the basis for a negotiation of a purchase and sale agreement.
He said the appraisals of the properties would be a “complex process” as they involved businesses — notably two campgrounds, a motel, and one other mixed-use property.
