More work than expected has lead to an early termination of a lease agreement between the county and company at Vittoria Old Town Hall.
In 2019, the County requested proposals from businesses interested in joint management of Norfolk County community halls and recreation facilities.
Ames Distilling Ltd. saw a great deal of potential in the Vittoria Old Town Hall and entered into a lease with the County.
However, according to a release, As both parties got deeper into the renovation project, it became apparent that significantly more time and resources would be required to make the hall safe, accessible, and up to code, and continuing with the renovations without the building generating any revenue was not sustainable.
Council will consider and explore options for Vittoria Old Town Hall in the near future.
The termination is effective March 31, 2023.
