Smiths Falls continues to take stock of what will change and what might remain the same following last week’s announcement by Canopy Growth of the closure of the 1 Hershey Drive plant, costing hundreds of local jobs.
Smiths Falls CAO Malcom Morris says staff are working to gather options for residents.
Morris says they want to figure out what this means for residents, and what comes next.
He adds the town is in exploratory discussions with investment groups surrounding 1 Hershey Drive, but they can’t make any moves until they know Canopy’s plans are for the building.
A report will come to town council in about a month’s time with further information regarding the potential impacts of the company shifting operations to the Lorne Street location.
