Here are some of the photos we took downtown this afternoon of the aftermath of the fire. It was quite an unsettling scene and eerily quiet, given what a regular Friday afternoon in the downtown area would normally be like.
Subsequent to yesterdays’s fire downtown that we wrote about here, the Town held two meetings this morning at Town Hall. The first of these meetings was for downtown residents impacted by the fire and the second meeting for downtown businesses being impacted.

We just wanted to post a quick reminder of the OMB Pre-Hearing on LJM’s Waterview Condominiums Phase II. The Pre-Hearing will commence tomorrow (Wednesday July 5th, 2017) at Grimsby Town Hall (Council Chambers) at 10:00 AM.
Residents in the West End of Winston Road recently received notice of a “Public Open House” regarding a proposed subdivision at 709-721 Winston Road. The proposed development calls for a rezoning with a combination of 8 detached dwellings along Winston Road and 28 condominium townhouses abutting the rear of those properties, with access from the North Service Road
Following up on our previous “Buyer Beware” post, we noticed the following comments from the father of a very unhappy buyer regarding LJM’s smaller development in Burlington, Appleby Gardens.
As we previously posted, The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care held it’s public meeting on June 19th regarding the potential closure and move of 50 LTC spots to Hamilton. Residents turned up to voice protest and support for keeping the beds here in Grimsby.

As Council will be taking a break for a month (next meeting is July 17th) there seemed to be a lot of ground covered and a packed audience to go along with the proceedings. The agenda and following discussions were definitely a mixed bag of treats.
