Facility location

We have been checking on the possibilities of obtaining store front space for OOTC. The prospects are not good. Royal Lepage said that most retail space is not zoned for sleeping and that the insurance does not allow sleeping accommodation. Also that such space in the newer malls is very expensive ($20 /sq ft) as is the space in downtown Milton. However there is a place on Main St that has apartments above it, which should get around the zoning, insurance concern. It is an older building, empty now and rents for $1500 per month. It also includes an unfinished basement with a rear exit. It should be suitable for our use with interior additions. It probably won't be available when we get the funding.
