www.insidehalton.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, October 19, 2 0 1 7 | 1 0 Town bought school to site to stave o ff OMB challenge and make money continued from p.9 One resident questioned why the Town purchased the property and why it was developing it. Oakville Mayor Rob Burton said the Town purchased the property to maintain control over it noting if the Town hadn't purchased it a developer would have. "We would have had a fight at the Ontario Municipal Board," he said, adding, the Town is looking at developing the property because revenue is needed for other local projects. "As the community came together to argue for and persuade council to build a community centre (at the former Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital site) council had to have a faint hope at least of being able to cover the costs of it," said Burton. No decision regarding the development was made Wednesday night with council simply voting to receive the comments from the delegations. Burton noted council would consider what it had heard. "For as long as I have been here, council has been very good at listening to people," he said. "We don't always do what we are told, but we listen." The matter will be before council at a later date.
