Huffman To Stay As Housing Subdivision

Fort Frances council is staying the course on plans for a new housing subdivision at the former Huffman School property.

The Fort Frances Seniors Advisory Committee suggested the old school become an extension of the Sister Kennedy Centre.

Mayor Roy Avis says the plans come too late to consider now given the town has spent a lot of time and energy on planning the development.

Councillor Ken Perry adds it would also be too costly to fix and maintain the building for a senior centre.
