Electrical utility will call Gaslight District home

The head office of Energy+, the hydro utility serving customers in Cambridge, North Dumfries and Brant County, will move into the mixed-use development that's planned for the historic Southworks and Tiger Brand properties in Galt in early 2020.

[...]

More than 70 Energy+ employees — office and administration staff consolidated from Bishop Street and Thompson Drive — are expected to move there in early 2020. The Bishop Street property will be retained for operations and engineering staff; that site also houses a garage and inventory storage. There's also a second operations centre in Paris. Energy+ employs 140 people in total.

With more than $100 million in investment expected to bring it to life, the Gaslight District will blend old and new, with plans calling for two residential towers rising above a public square lined with restaurants, shops and cultural amenities.

The former Tiger Brand property will house Grand Innovations, a tech hub that will partner with Conestoga College on applied research in such areas as e-waste recycling and cybersecurity. The Grand Innovations space is expected to be ready early next year.

Elsewhere, site work is expected to begin later this year with full-scale construction anticipated to begin next spring, Doherty said.
