NEW CO-GENERATION PLANT ON WYANDOTTE

This is the architectural rendering of what the proposed co-generation plant could look like as viewed from Wyandotte. It is going to be built next to the current Ford unit on Wyandotte just east of Droullard Road. The good news is that this concept doesn't look bad. The not so good news is that there is no commitment to this design. In fact, there is serious talk that, if possible, they would prefer to build a plant similar to the Brighton Beach Monster in the west end. Looks like an oil refinery. Ugly, ugly! Certainly does not belong in the City's core. That is why they are holding the above rendering close to the chest. It has not been made public and you won't find it on any web site. The wait to be seen news is how clean and quiet it is going to be. Hopefully silent compared to the existing Ford Casting plant which is slated for shut down some time in 2008. (You can hear the casting plant humming well beyond Parent Avenue). Keep your eyes on the news about this one.
