After months of debate recently,
but years of discussion, the
Goderich/Goderich Township (now
a ward of Central Huron) boundary
adjustment has been finalized.
The bylaw was up for discussion
at Huron County Council’s Oct. 2
meeting and several councillors
spoke in favour of the adjustment,
saying it could benefit the whole
county in a number of ways.
Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt
said that after finalizing the issue
with Central Huron Mayor Jim
Ginn, he recalls discussing the issue
with Ginn’s father, who had
previously been involved in
Goderich Township politics.
“That’s a relationship that has
continued on into the future and we
did get a deal that will benefit
everyone,” Shewfelt said.
He said the deal will provide an
upgrade in storm water management
for the area, which should help to
increase development.
Ginn told councillors that he
echoed Shewfelt’s sentiments and
felt the boundary adjustment should
do wonders for economic
development going forward.
Morris-Turnberry Mayor Paul
Gowing also said Morris-Turnberry
and North Huron finalized a similar
agreement years ago and that it
worked out well for both sides.
