Base Line School
Yes, We'll Sell 3 Acres
The School Area 2 board helped to keep its tax rate down by agreeing to sell its
unused 3 acre school site on Base Line Road, complete with the old school building
for $10,000.
It was only a short time ago that Pickering Township Council offered to pay just $2
for the purchase. However, as the land is destined to be sold for industrial use by the
council and the money realized put into the arena fund for the whole township,
the local school board felt that its taxpayers should benefit by the going of the land.
The $10,000 was used to keep the tax rate down to the 1.4 mill increase.
