CANADIAN MOTOR SPEEDWAY IN THE NEWS
CANADIAN MOTOR SPEEDWAY PROPOSAL APPROVED
Fort Erie Town Council heard from close to 60 people in support or opposition to the proposed Motor Speedway on Monday night. The meeting went from 6 p.m. to 12:50 a.m. Tuesday morning when council voted unanimously in favour of the speedway.
Instead of the Town Hall, the Council meeting was moved to the Leisureplex Banquet Hall due to the expected large turnout.
Hundreds of people attended the meeting Monday night, with close to 60 people taking to the podium to express their support or opposition.
The next step of the approval process now goes to Niagara Regional Council for a vote on Wednesday afternoon.
CANADIAN MOTOR SPEEDWAY ONE STEP CLOSER
The regional planning committee supported an amendment application to its policy plan, allowing the motor sports complex to move ahead to the next phase of the future zoning bylaw.
The proposal will come back to the regional council early next year for further discussion and a vote.
"I think it's an important indicator to our investors that the Region recognize the project and they would like to see it move to the next process," investor Azhar Mohammad, executive director at Emirates Consulting said after the Fort Erie planning meeting.
"And certainly, now is the time to roll up the sleeves with them to start dealing with some of the other issues, which we are confident that we will deal with, especially on the environmental noise side.
"I think we have to now understand, from an investment point of view, what is the quickest route to begin the return on the investment. That will be determined once we mitigate all of the concerns that the region has addressed in their proposal to us ... and then the province also had some clarifications required, and we've already been working on those for the last couple of months."
All indications show that the speedway is a go. The pro's out way the con's.
