Thank you to Adam Gallant, Project Manager for the Town of Collingwood and his background and update on the Terminals Point Project. Collingwood Terminals Throwback: Ever wonder how fast you can build a massive structure? In 1929, 40 laborers constructed the Collingwood Terminals in just 13 months! It boasted 52 silos holding 2 million bushels of wheat. Milestones: Grain services halted in 1993, and the town took ownership in 1997. Recent Developments: Fast forward to 2020, Collingwood sought fresh ideas for the Terminals. By 2023, Streetcar Developments Inc. unveiled their vision – a hotel in the silos, a condo tower, and a revamped Millennium Park. Current Status: The town is now hammering out the details in a Memorandum of Understanding, awaiting Council's nod of approval.
