* 1991 - The City of Wooster purchased the old Wooster AAA building on W. Liberty Street as a deal with the Wayne County Commissioners to bring the Human Services department downtown. The old Wooster AAA building also came with additional property that the city swapped with the county for more acreage on the Kinney property which the city wanted to use for a retention basin. The city was not able to auction off the old Wooster AAA building leaving the 5,700 sq. foot building vacant until the Chamber led by "Team Opportunity" agreed by the later part of 1993 to purchase the building for $190,000 for less than the appriasal value of $280,000. This left $29,500 budget for a building overall.<ref>Daily Record, Wooster, Ohio. 1994 Jul 8.</ref>
