Huron East council has directed its
staff to enter into negotiations with
the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture about the potential lease
renewal or sale of the federation’s
office in Tuckersmith.
The former Tuckersmith
municipal office has served as the
federation’s main officer for a
number of years now. Federation
President Wayne Black appeared
before council at its May 3 meeting
to negotiate a new lease and the
possible division of costs for
insulation for the building.
Several councillors, however,
suggested that the municipality sell
the building to the federation after
declaring it surplus.
While there may be some hoops
the municipality will have to jump
through, the negotiation process will
begin soon, leaving it open to either
a renewal of the lease, a long-term
lease or an outright sale.
HCFA may purchase
office from Huron East
