Brussels on short end of stick on lot sale says Reeve
One of the lots of the industrial
park that the Village of Brussels
thought had been sold is back on
village hands. Council was told
Sept. 4 that one of the conditions in
the sale agreement (that the village
sell four lots in the park) has not
been met so the buyer was backing
out of the deal and wanted his
deposit of $8,500 returned.
“I don’t know why we’re always
on the short end of the stick”,
Reeve Gordon Workman said. “We
did everything he was asking for.”
The condition was put in the
agreement to protect the village
from having to build a road into the
industrial park without having

Another development in the
village has also fallen through, at
least for now. Council was told that
the option of Blyth developer
Robbie Lawrie to purchase the
Elizabeth St. tennis court to build
an apartment building had expired.
A condition in the offer to
purchase was that Mr. Lawrie was
to be able to get a convert-to-rent
grant which he was unable to do.

manager, John Wiley.
Held in the Museum’s Gambrel
Barn with its rustic allure of
hand-hewn timbers, this event has
grown in popularity and for a
second year will be expanded into
an additional historical building.
With over 30 buildings on the
site, the Museum invites visitors to

Council had some quotes of
prices for street signs for the
village but will wait another month
for a quote that was unavailable
before making a final decision.
Some councillors expressed ur

Bruce Hahn said. “You better
