The Town of Renfrew made the decision to sell the Historic Downtown Post Office building to Rob Thompson Hotels LTD. The appraised value of the building was $635,000 dollars but it was in need of major renovations to meet provincial legislation, the price tag on the repairs was in the neighbourhood of $1.2 million dollars.
In the end the Town decided to sell the building at the cost of $100,000. The purchaser is expected to bring the building up to code and add in a new elevator lift and create a small Boutique Hotel in the Downtown.
