Port Hope Council – Business Park Offer

Council approved a By-law directing the Mayor and Clerk to sign a purchase and sale agreement ratifying a contract between the Municipality of Port Hope and Millwright Local 2309 Training and
Development Inc. for the properties Municipally known as 55, 65, and 75 Henderson Street.

Millwrights Local 2309 are proposing to develop a regional Millwright Training Centre and Assembly Hall. This is a phased development plan with the initial phase utilizing two of the three lots for a building and the third lot available for parking and future expansion. Phase One will be the construction of a 10,000 ft.² multi-story building. Phase Two will be a further 50,000 ft.² expansion of this facility.

In December 2009, the Municipality of Port Hope purchased 19 acres of employment lands for the sole purpose of developing a “shovel ready” Business Park, in keeping with the 2006 Economic
Development Strategic Plan and Business Park Feasibility Study. The sale of these three lots marks a project milestone as all lots in the Business Park are now sold.
