Well, after weeks of not knowing and speculating on the fate of Woodlawn, it appears that the property has been sold again. The previous purchaser and would-be developer who intended to sever the lot into three parcels walked away from the deal earlier in the summer as far as we understand. A For Sale sign was put up several weeks ago but then promptly taken down about two days later for reasons unknown. During a brief conversation with the realtor recently, he indicated that the property had been sold. It is our understanding that the new owners are to take possession in October.
There is no word as to the status of the severance application or the heritage designation at this time. At last check with the City of Barrie, the severance application remained in place in the name of the former owners. We will be in touch with the appropriate city officials shortly and will return with more news as soon as it is made available to us.
Thank you for checking in again. See you again soon.
