Jim Hunter from the Brussels Agricultural Society and Dale New man from the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre Board spoke to village council about the possible acquisition of seven more acres behind the arena to allow more space for fair and other activities. The fair board is willing to donate $12,000 toward the acquisition. Councillor Greg Wilson said he didn’t mind the idea of getting more land but he didn’t know where the money was to come from in this year’s budget. Hugh Hanly, Clerk-Treasurer advised council that they are already looking at a deficit for the year because of the possible cost of installing a road to the industrial park and the year is only one-third over. Moreover, under municipal law the village can’t even commit itself for next year or that will be regarded as money committed. Council voted to send a letter to the Agricultural Society saying it supports the idea but can’t commit funds in 1989.***** The cost of that road into the industrial park is worrying council lors. Councillor Dave Hastings asked other councillors if they had walked the land over which the road would be built. Mr. Hanly said the cost of the road and water service could easily be $150,000. Councillor Hastings said he thought the council should be looking at the project very closely.
