Here We Grow Again: 141-149 Main St. East (Cole’s Florist) “Open House”

The Town will be hosting an (online) “open house” meeting for the Losani Homes proposal at 141-149 Main Street East, the current location of Cole’s Florist and Garden Centre.

An open house meeting is your first and important opportunity to “take a kick at the can” and let the applicant know what you think of the plan they have brought before the Town.

You can check out the relevant application documents at this link here:

Don’t think it fits with the character of Main Street East? Don’t just sit there, register to participate in the Zoom meeting (via tablet, laptop or by telephone) and have your say.

Registrations for the meeting can be secured by emailing Nancy Simon by nsimon@grimsby.ca before noon on Friday March 26th. The meeting goes live on Monday March 29, 2021 @ 6PM.

If you want to spectate only, you can follow the meeting at the Town’s Vimeo page, or catch the simulcast via our Facebook page.
