I really hope that the "environmentalists" don't win this battle. A multinational manufacturer choosing the Region would be a huge economic boost. The region needs this if they want to grow towards a million by 2050. People need jobs. The productivity of 6 farms should not outweigh the thousands high paying jobs this has the potential to create.
I do think the location is not the greatest. I would have prefered the Region look at the block of land between shantz station/ woolwich-Guelph townline and Hwy 7 and the rail corridor. It would have better HWY (401&7) and rail access. It would have also been closer to workforce and easier to provide transit options from kitchener, cambridge and Guelph.
