Smiths Falls staff presented a Request for Proposal draft to council as they gauge redevelopment interest at the old water treatment plant location.
Before it moves forward, amendments are being made to ensure the Old Mill Road waterfront property’s Ontario Heritage Act designation is addressed.
Councilor Jay Brennan wants to get this RFP moving.
This is not their first attempt to redevelop the property, as Manager of Economic Development and Tourism Julia Crowder explained.
The plan would have seen the construction of a hotel, condos, and entertainment venues at the site.
The Request for Proposal will be accompanied with a marketing campaign to spread the word to developers.
