Prime Parking Spot

Bluewater Health is hoping it can continue using the parking lot at the old St. Patrick's High School, which is something the Chief Operating Officer at the hospital says they desperately need.

Mike Lapaine says volunteers, staff and physicians currently use the 100 space lot, on lease from the St. Clair Catholic District School Board.

Lapaine met with administration from the city and both area school boards Wednesday afternoon to discuss each party's intentions for the property.

Lapaine says city council will vote whether or not to declare its interest in the site during the April 13th council meeting.
