TWO SAFETY-KLEEN EXPANSIONS

Today's K-W Record has the following story: "Safety-Kleen expansion to boost capacity". This expansion is to include steel pipes, support beams and processing tanks and will cost $26 million dollars. What I find very strange is that this announcement is taking place now; long after the announcement, zone change and Official Plan Amendment was submitted to Woolwich Township for the much smaller land purchase and warehouse addition behind their site, onto the former Forwell Sand & Gravel property. Did Woolwich Township Staff have any knowledge that this larger expansion would also be undertaken and built at the same time? Would this have affected their decisions regarding the warehouse purchase and construction? This article by the Record is essentially a feel good bit of local boosterism however they do mention that yours truly has appealed the warehouse & parking lot expansion to the Ontario Municipal Board (O.M.B.).
