A large proposal may lead to employment opportunities in Seaforth
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expositor
If the okay is given, an
active application for a
potential developer's large
building project could possi-
bly boost Seaforth's
economy.
If accepted, this proposal
will be one step closer to the
building of a three-story
80 -unit retirement home
and 40 -multi detached
condominiums in the bor-
ough of Seaforth.
Senior planner at Huron
County Planning & Devel-
opment Department, Claire
Dodds, informed council at
town hall on August 25 of
the status relating to the
large proposal and consid-
ers this a great chance to
enhance health care in the
region.
"We're really just starting
this process and bringing
this application forward
into the public realm for
discussion and considera-
tion," Dodds said after a
Huron East council meet-
ing. "It provides further
opportunity for residents to
stay in the Seaforth area and
provides exceptional care
for the aging rural
population."
Dodds left council before
the closed meeting began
and mentioned to the public
that if anyone has questions,
comments or any further
discussion about the matter,
there will be a public meet-
ing September 22.
Jan Hawley, the economic
development officer for
Huron East, knows about the
proposal and is confident
this building venture will
boost the economy in
Seaforth.

there's such momentum, I
think this is only going to
be good, not just for Sea -
forth and Huron East, but
beyond the borders," Haw-
ley said in an interview
last Friday.
In addition, Hawley, who
implemented the "Win This
Space" project, said the
development "is a win-win"
and looks forward to work-

ing with the developers.
Since more details are
expected to surface in an ad
submitted to the Expositor
this week,
Brad Knight, the munici-
pality's chief administrator
officer, said council is "being
a little cautious:'
"The notices are just going
out and we really can't say a
whole lot ourselves until we
get to the public meeting,"
Knight said.
