MANITOWANING—Assiginack Township Council has received a total of four tenders for the possible purchase of the municipally owned property that houses both the Canada Post Corporation and the Bank of Montreal, in Manitowaning.
As had been previously reported, at a meeting in January, Assiginack council had declared the municipal property at 115 Arthur Road to be surplus and authorized municipal township staff to advertise for the sale of the property.
At a meeting April 30, council was apprised that a total of four tenders had come forward. They included bids from Sheppard Custom Building of $5,000, Nardine Ghbrial, Mena Guiguis and John Boules for $1, Douglas Hancock for $120,000 and a tender bid of $40,000 from Ryan Willoughby.
“We need to defer this to in-camera meeting as there is supplementary information we need to look at,” said Mayor Brenda Reid.
She told the Expositor after the meeting council made no decision to allow them time to further reflect on the tenders that have been received.
