The planned development for…

The planned development for Nanticoke is not a good plan when you have the Townsend Community Development that was started a number of years ago and still has the capacity for the expansion that was being looked at down in Nanticoke. The concern that I honestly have is that the Government is very narrowly focused on what the developer wants and not what will happen later. Prior to retiring and moving down to this area I worked for a company where we had a Mfg. Plant that was built a long time before urban development in the Vaughn area. Years later developers purchased the property around our Mfg. Plant where we employed hundreds of great jobs. Once the developer started to build their houses and high rises around our plant we were forced to add special walls etc. which cost millions of dollars to the corporation. The same will happen here and then Stelco will be forced either out of the community losing allot of great local jobs or to spend allot of additional money to satisfy these the new development and concern about odour or sound or just the sight.
The Province should actually get Empire to invest in the Townsend Project and make it what it was intended to be.
Please learn not to make the same mistake twice and actually look at the where all the money goes!
