It’s being recommended that Quinte West council tear down its old fire hall in Trenton and retain the land for use as green space and/or extra downtown parking.
Council’s Corporate Finance Committee made the recommendation after learning that, because of setback requirements away from the Trent River, the property had little commercial value.
The Trenton fire hall is no longer needed as a new headquarters recently opened near the OPP headquarters in Trenton.
Council will make a final decision on the issue soon.
