Development Commission Ready to Move on Lakewood

The dream of a new adult education center is closer to reality.

The Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission is working on plans to purchase Lakewood School after the public schooo board declared the facility suplus earlier this week.

Chair of the Training and Educatin Committee Geordie McEwan says there's already been a lot of interest expressed in the training center.

The commission now has 90 days to work up a bid for the property and will be working with the City of Kenora to initially help fund the purchase.
