Resident asks about Portage Manor sale; commissioners say no sale pending
Summary
A Walkerton resident asked commissioners whether the county had finalized a sale of the 128-acre Portage Manor property to a Catholic school; commissioners said no sale is pending and that they will announce further details soon.
Cynthia Heckman Davis of Walkerton used the Nov. 4 public-comment period to ask two items: when the next "beverage with the commissioners" (informal public meeting) will be scheduled and whether the 128-acre Portage Manor property had been sold to a Catholic school and, if so, how much acreage would remain public.
Commissioners replied that another "beverage with the commissioners" event has not yet been scheduled. On Portage Manor, commissioners said there is no sale pending to a Catholic school and that the county and city continue to discuss options; they said the county will announce next steps in the near future. The board did not provide further details about acreage retention during the meeting.
The public comment was recorded at the end of the regular agenda and commissioners moved to recess following the exchange.
