North Huron is coughing up $150,000 to help the school board pay for the extension of John Street to accommodate the new school in Wingham.
The extension of John Street was considered necessary from the beginning, but the school board felt that the municipality should cover the total cost of the street construction including all the underground infrastructure. North Huron's engineer consultant explained to them that the developer normally pays for all development costs. The board eventually accepted that decision, but launched a hard luck story that convinced North Huron council of the time to chip in $150,000.
The dream is that this money will be recouped when the next phase of development takes place in that area. Good luck!
It's a bit like the situation in some countries when someone is executed by a firing squad and the family has to pay for the bullet.
