Keep your stuff in the trunk; you likely don’t have to move!
The Town of Arnprior has passed By-law Number 7634-24, authorizing the municipality to purchase the vacant lot at 74 John Street North.
The action was taken at the November 10th Council Meeting, with elected representatives authorizing a purchase price of 650,000 dollars as negotiated by CAO Robin Paquette.
It will likely remain as a municipal parking lot- a purpose for which it had been used for years thanks to the generosity of the private owner who had not sought to develop the property.
The land was recently put for sale, and the Town convened a special closed meeting November 3rd to consider the purchase.
