Point Edward council is poised to get some good news on the former Holmes Foundry lands now that the vexing ownership question has apparently been resolved.

“I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel,” said Mayor Bev Hand. “We’re hopeful that we’re finally getting somewhere.”

Once the ownership is clear, there’s some indication the 17-acre site will be sold for redevelopment, said Point Edward’s CAO Jim Burns.

He has fielded a number of calls from realtors with interested clients over the past few months, said Hand. “They’re asking about services on the property and other questions that indicate interest in it.”

It’s been nearly 30 years since Chrysler shut down its foundry at a high profile location bounded by Front Street, Exmouth Street, Christina Street and Highway 402.
