JOINT RELEASE: Township of Wellington North and the County of Wellington
ARTHUR, Ont. – The Township of Wellington North has reached an agreement with the
County of Wellington to purchase the former County works yard located at 399 Eliza
Street in Arthur.
The property became surplus to the County’s requirements with the opening of the new
Arthur Garage on Wellington Road 109 in May 2025.
Under the purchase and sale agreement, the Township will acquire the property for
$450,000.
This site will serve as a Township operations yard for the next several years while staff
continue to assess and plan for the long-term facility needs of both Arthur and Mount
Forest.
Following some initial improvements, it is hoped the site will be ready for Township use
during the 2026-2027 winter season. The Township also plans to continue using of the
existing works yard in Arthur for much needed indoor storage of equipment and
vehicles.
This purchase is both a practical and strategic opportunity that will not only improve
current service delivery but creates opportunity for the Township to plan for future
community needs as well.
