Construction of the Hensall District Co-
op's new McKillop township facilities, on
Highway 8 east of Seaforth, is slated to
begin in Mid -June and be finished by the
first of September.
"We hope to have it ready for the wheat
harvest,” says Co-op General Manager Earl
Wagner, adding that fertilizer facilities will
be ready for wheat planting in September.
On April 4 McKillop township council ap-
proved the re -zoning of 50 acres of Lot 21,
Concession 1, from General Agricultural to
Agricultural Commercial -Industrial• The 35
day appeal period on the re=zoning has ex-
pired, and Co-op is looking at what will be
put on the property.
Mr. Wagner says this summer Co-op will
be moving its receiving elevator from `its
current position north of Seaforth to the new
Highway' 8 location. Also in the initial con-
struction phases, an 80 foot truck scale will
be installed, a seed and chemical warehouse
will be built, as will new fertlizer blending
facilities,
The retail store is staying in its current
location on Main Street for now, and the
previously mentioned gas bar" and lumber
yardawii of be added to the facilities this
year.
"The total package this year will mean
over $500,090 already. So that's enough to
get us going," says Mr. Wagner. "It's a
Street:c
facility
to beI
significant part of our capital expenditure
for this year."
Mr. 'Wagner says there is no reason for
Seaforth businessmen to worry about com-
petition from the Co-op development this
year.
"There's nothing that affects Seaforth
retail at all in this phase," he says. "I don't
think it'll have much effect on the town, but
it should reduce any traffic of tractors
through town." •
Mr. Wagner explains that Co-op looked at
about seven other locations near Seaforth,
but found this one most suitable because it is
most accessible to the farmers both north
and south of town who will use it.
"To better serve the farmers -that's our
main •objective, We're making a fairly
substantial investment in the Seaforth area
and this represents our support from area
farmers."
Mr. Wagner says the new location is also
beneficial in that it is environmentally bet-
ter to have chemicals stored in a rural,
rather than urban, area.
He says when Hensall District Co-op took
over the Seaforth Co-op five years ago, a
primary objective was to establish facilities
in a rural area.
"This project has been on the books for a
long time," said Mr. Wagner, "and it's time
we got on with it."

The Civic Court project, the first construc-
tion':phase of Seaforth's.Streetscape plan, is
almost reedy togo totender and-is:expected
to be completed in mid-September. The
Civic Court is intended to show.1Seaforth
ratepayers what the Streetscape program
will do for the town's appearance.
Plans for the Civic Court are being finaliz-
ed; but Deputy -Clerk Michelle Huard who is
' involved with the Streetscape committee,
notes that the committee recommendations
are still subject to town council approval,
and "council may still veto any part or all of
the .project.'"
One change. from the original Civic Court
planwhich Miss Huard points out is that the
four trees which will border the Court will
now have to .bean planters. The Streetscape
committee learned from County Council
that there is a catchbasin under the propos-
ed court, about three feet underground, and
the' trees would need to be planted four feet
deep. The trees selected are honey -locusts,
which were chosen because they are sparse-
ly leafed allowing visibility for motorists us-
ing the alleyway beside the Town Hall.
Also included are two lightposts, each
proceed
with two lights, two bolards, two benches,
and a waste receptacle.
The lightposts are the same as will be
adopted for usethroughoutthetown, and the
benches and waste receptacles will be
custom designed of cast iron and wooden
slats. Each will bear the adopted Town of
Seaforth logo. If, possible the planters for the
trees will be made in the same design. as the
benches and trash cans.
The town bell was ruled out of the project
because of its considerable size, and will re-
main in the town hall tower for now. Miss
Huard says the conunittee'has discussed us-
ing.the bell.in other areas of the Streetscape
plan, such as.in the Victorian Garden plann-
ed for behind the library.
The bronze statue of D.D. Wilson, which
was:proposed to have sitting on the bench in
front of -Town Hallhas also been put on hold.
The statue would have cost between $15,000
and-$20,000,and will be purchased when and
if funding becomes available.
A row of red.brick unit pavers in the pave-
ment will outline the Civic Court, the three
flags which currently border the sidewalk
