F.H. Huffman Purchase Finalized


Fort Frances town council has finalized its purchase of the former F.H. Huffman School.

The $158-thousand for the purchase will come out of reserves.

Mayor Roy Avis says its still undecided what they will do with the site.

"We've lost some park space with the new library going next to the arena," says Avis. "Could be consideration for a subdivision plan. There are many things we could do with the building and council felt it was in the best interest that we purchase that property."

Avis says the town also plans to maintain and cover the costs of heating the former school.
