GM Site Appeal Stalls Progress

Owners of the former GM auto parts plant in St. Catharines have appealed the city’s order to fix, replace, or secure the deteriorating buildings — a move that’s stalled progress on what was once planned as a retirement community. The city, citing repeated complaints and safety concerns, had hoped the order would kickstart redevelopment or demolition. But the appeal — coming after a $60,000 fine for past violations — has drawn criticism from local politicians who say it shows a lack of urgency. The province may step in, with the environment minister hinting at possible investigation. The public hearing is set for June 25 — and everyone’s watching to see what happens next.
