During my browsing of the council minutes, I went back over the last few council meetings and read about varaious land sales in the industrial park on the south side of the 401. A new street was laid out a couple years ago and the city put the land up for sale last year. They have had solid interest in this property. This site is to the east of Jack Ross Ave, between Patullo Rd and the 401. If you are on the 401, there is a new mini storage yard on the north side at the bottom of the hill west of the 403. This new industrial road, Alyea Street (named for the family the city bought the land from) is directly across the 401 from that. I'll post the map below. Here are the land sales that I could find. I should clarify that these aren't closed deals at this point.
Site A was sold to local developer 214 Carson, which plans 280,000 sq ft of leasable space. They have several other properties in Woodstock, Brantford and Ingersoll. They also own the 12 acre lot adjacent to the west side of this property with access to Ridgeway Ave and Jack Ross Ave.
Site B was sold to Inno Foods Inc, which plans 220,000 sq ft over 2 phases to manufacture snack foods. They anticipate 100 jobs.
Site C was sold to High Noon Investment Corp, which plans a 113,000 sq ft abbatoir and chicken processing plant. The report to council says the purchaser is using a holding company name to purchase the property to hide the company's well known name for competitive reasons until closer to construction. They anticipate 300 jobs once up and running.
Site D has a numbered Ontario company planning a 105,000 sq ft manufacturing site for building materials.
Site H was purchased by Paper4U with plans for 36,000 sq ft for paper manufacturing and approx 25 jobs.
Site I and J was sold to a Dutch company, Acier Stigterstaal, who intends to build at least 64,000 sq ft warehouse to supply steel to the maritime industry.
That leaves E F and G that I haven't found info on, although I may have also missed something.
Also, an adjacent piece of land on Jack Ross Ave, immediately west of the lot line between C and D, was sold to VALO Biomedia, which plans for a 42,000 sq ft facility "to be used for the cleaning, storage, incubation and shipping of SPF (specific pathogen free) eggs for the vaccine industry."
