No one "took" the building... when you people realize that this town will be able to move on.

The town is moving on. Same old . Same old. Money given away hand over fists to friends of the rich and powerful.
Councils change but nothing else.
You are wrong about we, the people, being content any time soon to accept stuff that makes no sense.
Each year we are reminded.
An earlier comment notes numbers are up at Church Street School programs.
That's success.... yes.
Increased revenue, mais non?
Yet another comment indicates $400,000 or more demanded and received from the town.
How does that make sense?
Original grant was intended as seed money to get the Heritage/Culture program going. To be reduced annually until the operation is self-sufficient.
The business plan recommended by a consultant was to prevent the facility from becoming a sink hole for taxpayer resources.
Like a Saturday Night Live Skit ,that's exactly what it became from the beginning.
Imagine what a hotel operator might make of this little tidbit unearthed in research for a profitable location.
And all the other crazy stuff that flows downhill from Aurora Town Hall for the past ten years..
The town does not present as a vibrant ,well-managed, incorruptible partner for a hotel operation
of repute.
Anything but.

The hotel appears to be an election tool. Both Dawe & Gallo have used it.
There was once the possibility of a hotel in connection with a Stronach project. We never heard what happened with that - there was a wonderful plan for an Ecco-Park that would have brought some jobs to town and hit all the right buttons. Then, poof !
If hand-outs were curtailed, the monetary enticement of a hotel might be feasible.
What did happen to the Ecco-Park Evelyn? You were still on council at the time.
