myFm caught up with Sean Dyke CEO of St. Thomas Economic Development Corp. Tuesday at the Economic Developers Council of Ontario annual conference.
We asked him for an update on the 800-acre parcel of land east of Highbury Avenue acquired by the city last summer.
Dyke had said previously assembling the parcel of land is an opportunity for the city to showcase itself with available land for a mega industrial development.
He added at the time, ” More often than not, companies are looking to have shovels in the ground for large investments in months rather than years and I am exceptionally pleased that the city has chosen to take this strategic path forward to encourage a level of long-term success and economic sustainability that will be felt not just in St. Thomas, but across the entire region.”
Dyke was attending the Economic Developers Council of Ontario annual conference where he was elected president of the board of directors for a one-year term.
