Bluewater Council Votes To Proceed With The Potential Sale Of Land At 6 Municipal Road In Bayfield

by Bob Montgomery

Bluewater council has agreed to proceed with the potential sale of land at 6 Municipal Road in Bayfield.

The building is currently being leased from the municipality by the Bayfield Lions Club. The Bayfield Food Bank and several service clubs also use the building. Bluewater Mayor Paul Kloop says a couple of doctors have submitted an application to buy the property and Bluewater council agreed at last night's council meeting to begin that process. 

Klopp points out it is a fairly lengthy process and it was agreed by the municipality and the Lions Club that the obvious benefit to the community is the addition of two doctors. All parties agree that a new home has to be found for the other people who currently use the building, particularly the Bayfield Food Bank. Klopp says it will be a very transparent process so that everyone will be able to follow the process and express whatever concerns they have. The future of the other groups currently using the building will be part of the process.
