The area's two public utilities have chosen a location for their new joint $9.5-million transformer station.

Brantford Power Inc. and Brant Power County Inc. have purchased a 5.5-acre parcel of land from King &Benton Development Corp.

King & Benton president Steve Charest said he was happy to assist with the fundamental growth needs of the two municipalities.

“King & Benton has recognized that partnerships with municipalities are important to sustain future growth to ensure that the infrastructure is there for new development,” said Charest.
