An application to the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund is being put together by the town and the Rainy River Future Development Corporation for funding to help develop a market square on the Scott Street location.
Consultant Tannis Drysdale says recent discussion with the province is giving them some hope of the application gaining approval this year.
Drysdale says the fine details are to be work out, but the project could include a new building that might be a new home to the local Farmer's Market.
