PAGE 14, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1980, WHITBY FREE PRESS Town kand sold ..0 Gartshore clonfirms cleal taken place Mayor Jim Gartshore las confirmed that the town las sold some of its land in downtown Whitby and that the site wWl be used to build a four-storey office and commercial complex. However, Gartshore said that the deal is not likely to be signed until it receives the approval of the incoming 1961-82 council which takes office on Decemberi1. That couneil wil have two new members; Regional Councillor-elect Tom Ed- wards and North Ward Councillor-eleet Ross Bat- ten. Gartshore told the Free Press that the town will receive more money for the property than it did in an of- fer, presented to it one mon- th ago. The outgoing mayor did not give the purchase price of the land aithough he did say that an account by the Oshawa Times was wrong. That account said that the land was purchased for about $400,000. Part of the lot that has been sold bas been used as a municipal parking for the last few years and at the urging of the mayor, the ad- jacent lot was purchased about two months ago. When the land was pur- chased, Gartshore was quoted as saying that the property would "Iassist in regenerating the downtown and give us some control over specific blocks. " Another factor in the pur- chase of the property, presently occupied by A and T Motors was concern that it mîght become the home of said. About a month ago, Gar- tshore set up a deal whereby Gus Brown Motors and another developer would have purchased the property for *365,000 to put a building on the site. That deal was turned down by council. Sources have said that defeated North Ward Coun- cillor Bob Carson voted in favor of that deal, however, no oneO is sure of the views of his sucessor or of the other new member of council. The latest proposai of sale is expected to be discussed by the new council at elther one of its first two meetings on December 1 or 15.
