Mayor Fougere: "
The land's been vacant for a number of years, but it is owned by the company, they have the right to take their time or do what they want, of course, we can't force them to build."
No, you can't force them to build, but you
can make it costly for a company to just sit on a on prime pieces of land. Other cities have bylaws in place allowing for property tax surcharges & the like. At least the City hasn't approved a "temporary" parking lot (I'd bet the CP folks have informally approached the CoR about this option).
