(Photo submitted) County okays new ec. dev. space By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Huron County has authorized an agreement for a new home for the newly -bolstered Economic Develop- ment Department. At its May 18 committee of the whole meeting, Huron County Council authorized Warden Paul Gowing and Clerk Susan Cronin to enter into an agreement with Fifty - Four West Limited for use of office space at 54 West Street in Goderich. The agreement will run a term of three years, with the option for a further extension of two years. At the end of last year, the Economic Development Department was removed from the offices of the Huron County Planning and Development Department on Napier Street and relocated to new offices at the Huron County Courthouse. In his report, Ron Gaudet, Director of Economic Development, stated that the move was meant to be a short-term solution. The department has quickly outgrown its space at the courthouse, he told council. The rental agreement will cost the county $2,800 per year (all inclusive) for the first three years and then $2,350 all inclusive for years four and five, should the county choose to extend the agreement for those years. In his report, Gaudet said that the newly -formed Huron County Economic Development Board had given the move to the new office space its blessing. Council approved the recommendation, authorizing the move. The Huron County Economic Development Board appointed a new member, which was approved by Huron County Council at its May 18 committee of the whole meeting. Maureen Nummelin was chosen `•' REPRINTS OF PHOTOS taken by Citizen photographers are available to purchase.
