[Photo by The Advance] Brussels, Zurich, Wingham seniors apartments stand vacant BY BOB MURPHY The high vacancy rate in Zurich for senior citizens' units operated by the Huron County Housing Authority is a bit of a conundrum, Huron County council was told Thursday. The reference was made during presentation of the authority's annual report to council at its regular November session in the court house at Goderich. Harold Robinson, the housing authority's vice-president, said he was at a loss to explain the high vacancy rate in Zurich when vacancies in seniors' develop- ments operated by the authority in other centres, are virtually non- existent. Robinson pointed out that of 20 units available in Zurich, 10 were vacant and have been for some time. Although one of those vacancies was filled Nov. 1, Robinson said he was turning to members of council from the Zurich area for assistance in explaining the problem. The authority currently operates senior citizens' units in Bayfield, Goderich, Exeter, Seaforth, Clin- ton,-Brussels, Blyth and Wingham in addition to those in Zurich. With the exception of Brussels, Wingham and Zurich the vacancy rate is zero. In Brussels, three out of 34 units are unoccupied with no applicants at present, while Wing- ham has three of 64 unoccupied. In Wingham, it was pointed out the three unoccupied units have been refused by prospective appli- cants and remain vacant even though there are six applications on file from those seeking accom- modation. Coun. Lionel Wilder (Reeve of Hay) said he understood some of the problems contributing to the high vacancy rate in Zurich might be the lack of an elevator for tenants and the lack of a "view" from the building. Wilder said the building is a "nice facility and is certainly well constructed." Perhaps the install- ation of an elevator would reduce the vacancy rate, he said. Coun. Bob Fisher (Reeve of Zurich) said his council would like to see'all units occupied and has asked a number of times for input from the housing authority on what might be neededfrom the village to help increase tenancy. He said he agreed with Wilder that there was a problem with the view being spoiled by high trees "boxing them (tenants) in." He promised the co-operation of his council "if we could get some input from the authority."
