The testing centre will be closing on the 23rd at 6:30PM and moving back to Grand River Hospital so this property will be finally free for redevelopment unless something happens and they need to reopen it. I have taken a couple trips there to scout and tour the site and I believe one of other crew was touring the place last month or so. Can't reveal what potential plans I'm involved in nor do I know what others have been considering, but I can definitely say there's a lot of interest from various developers for potential projects.
I'll be curious to see what happens with this place. It's far too small for a stadium despite people wanting to see one get built here. But I do hope we can utilize it for something more meaningful for the community rather than simply selling it off for condos. A park extension, public square and perhaps some civic oriented buildings would be most ideal in my opinion and I've been designing plans for such projects in AutoCAD/Revit in my free time.
