The Hamilton Spectator today announced that approval has been granted for the demolition of the Studebaker Hamilton plant, something we've been waiting news on for some time. The Hamilton and Ontario chapter members will soon be able to bring their Hamilton-built Studebakers home for one final photo-op. I hope to have a date for this approved soon. Locals will find it interesting to learn that Hamilton taxpayers will contribute a grant of$650,000.00 to cover the demolition costs and the developer will be eligible for even more for the re-development of the land. The new industrial park replacing the 530,000 square foot Studebaker building will contain 22 industrial lots ranging from 0.71 acres to 1.5 acres. Construction should be completed by mid-2013. More news to come later.
