ee PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 22, 1966 -- 9 Site for new elementary school still up in the air Vote likely on Fair Board's lease The fate of a new $2 million elementary school in Port Perry could be decided in the next couple of weeks if members of the Port Perry Agricultural Society agree to break a lease the Society has with Scugog Township for present Fairgrounds property. It now looks as if about 40 people may be eligible to vote on whether or not to break the lease the Fair Board has with the municipality. These would include members of the executive, the directors and chairpersons of committees who held office for the years 1964-85-86, according to legal advice given to the Fair Board executive last week. We feature Venetian, Verncal & Pleated Blinds by LEVOLOR.

In the meantime, the Fair Board executive is seeking a meeting with the Township council to ask for fur- ther guarantees of assistance should a decision be made to break the lease and move the Fair to a new site adjacent to the Scugog Arena. Township council has already pledg- ed use of the land for a new site and $102,000 to help in the re-location and development of a new site. This is the money the council will receive from the Board of Educa- tion for seven acres of land on the northwest corner of the present Fairgrounds as the site of a new school. However, the deal between the Township and School Board can't go through until the lease between the Fair Board and Township (which runs to 1997) is surrendered. The School Board wants to start construction of the new elementary school this fall for completion in September, 1987, and wants the sale of the seven acres completed no later than June 1, of this year. Several groups have opposed the move to a new Fairgrounds site and the formal of the lease has been held up. Those opposed to the move at this time say there has not been enough information about how much it will cost to create a new grounds for the Fair or who will pay. There are also fears that a new fairgrounds will not include a track for horse racing. 'Say it with a ...
