Springwater Council has voted in favour of purchasing a 50 acre parcel of land from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for just over 3.8 million dollars.
The subject land, known as the Hasty Tract, is located at 1132 Snow Valley Road and will be used for the establishment of a community hub.
Immediate plans for the land include the construction of a new fire station to service the Midhurst area and a new multi-use recreation centre, featuring an arena, library and meeting/activity space, as well as active and passive recreation opportunities.
“The site is strategically located within the Bayfield Corridor Study area and will serve as a multi-purpose community hub. It will allow us to continually ensure the safety of our residents through the creation of a new fire station and also expand on our recreational offerings to the community,” says Mayor Don Allen. “A special thank you to Minister John Yakabuski, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and MPP Doug Downey for their assistance in moving this project forward.”
