The Municipality of Huron Shores has received a reply to its inquiry concerning the feasibility of a nuclear generating station along the north shore of Lake Huron.
And there are no promises. The Nuclear Supply Branch of the provincial Ministry of Energy said that only existing nuclear sites are being considered for construction of new nuclear plants. The ministry did indicate the possibility of additional nuclear sites to meet demand in the future.
Meanwhile, council committed $2,750 toward upgrading or extending the runway of the Thessalon Municipal Airport. Huron Shores will be a co-applicant with Thessalon for costs to be met under the provincial Rural Economic Development Program
