So far, there’s no certainty that residential development would be allowed on the former industrial property
Any developers who've been considering building on Sault Ste. Marie's Gateway site shouldn't be shy about approaching the city, Mayor Matthew Shoemaker said tonight.
The pre-feasibility study was fully funded with a $50,000 grant from Thunder Bay-based Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-Economy , but so far, local economic development officials haven't found a developer to build the project, which includes residential and commercial components as well as a visitors centre to showcase urban community living, alternative energy, forest sustainability and bio-economy innovation.
"I'm glad that we've got a little bit more info on the property. Frankly, if anybody came to us with a plan to develop some mix of residential and commercial – whether it's the use of wood, whether it's the use of concrete, whether it's the use of glass, whether it's the use of steel – we'd be eager to see that property developed.
Rick Van Staveren, the city's director of economic development, said that so far, there’s no certainty that residential development would be allowed on the former industrial site.
