Brantford - The old Harding carpet site in downtown Brantford has been purchased by a Toronto developer in a controversial deal with the City of Brantford.
The Brantford Expositor reported the company bought the property for $100,000 from the city, which waived $3.8 million in outstanding taxes.

Yesterday, King and Benton announced it was establishing a community advisory group to get feedback from residents about the site.

"We want them to hear about what we're doing. We haven't had a chance to do that yet," said Kevin Lennon, company spokesman.
