Toronto-based Rykka Care Centres wants to open a nursing home on a current parking lot – a brownfield site - in central Windsor. The city is recommending approval for an environmental assessment of the land on the south side of Hanna St. between Ouellette and Marentette avenues now used for Windsor Health Centre parking. Brownfield sites are properties that may be contaminated due to previous industrial or commercial use. At one time the site was occupied by an iron foundry “and included two rail yards, tracks and spurs," the city says in a report. "Also noted were the presence of unknown fill material and various hazardous wastes were present on site.” Rykka wants to build a 196-bed home and has done “extensive” public consultation. The city would share the estimated cost of the $66,000 study up to $25,000 under its brownfield redevelopment program. – 2/10/24
