Farmland conversion and landfill sites

[westwardloo]

I suspect your right and Alliston can't handle another 1000+ person factory. I hope it's Honda, there is probably a slight difference in part design so it would boost the smaller manufacturers in the Region even more.  Still surprised land in-between guelph and kitchener isn't being considered since Linamar would be one of the major suppliers for the plant.

The area between Kitchener and Guelph also has a rail line, which I presume is part of the reason that area in Wilmot was chosen (rail line runs just north of it, and could easily spur off to a new plant). I imagine that if the new highway 7 was under construction already, then that area might be considered instead, as they could pick a spot right off one of the new highway exits, but they aren't likely to put all that extra strain on the existing infrastructure.

I think the main reason for the location is that there is already high voltage power that runs directly through the chosen site.
