Brantford councillors endorse "critically important" infrastructure project

Brantford Councillors Endorse Infrastructure Project

Brantford councillors have endorsed a multi-million dollar plan to put water and wastewater pipes underneath Highway 403 near the Oak Park Road interchange.

According to Mayor Kevin Davis, this project is "critically important" to Brantford's economic future. The land in question, located immediately north of Highway 403, includes a former gravel pit and is one of only a handful in southern Ontario ready for industrial development once the pipes are in place.

"It's the kind of land that 20 years ago you would see an auto assembly plant on it,"

Davis said at a November 4 committee-of-the-whole meeting. He emphasized that the land is significant not only for Brantford but also for southern Ontario.

Davis also mentioned that once the trade situation with the United States is resolved, there could be significant industrial development in southern Ontario, and Brantford would be a prime candidate for that investment.
