It is an eyesore, a safety and security risk, an environmental disaster and a rat-filled threat to the health and well-being of the adjoining communities. “Anyone driving down Ontario Street — one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares — would be hard pressed not to notice the blight that is the former GM property. With buildings that are half-torn down and large lots filled with piles of brick and debris. St. Catharines Standard October 2018 Allowing vacant land in the middle of the city to remain in this condition depresses property values and undercuts St. Catharines attempts to build reputation as a progressive city with a bright future. If you agree that the City should act to clean up this blight on our community, please add your name to the petition below: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/support-petition-to-clean-up-gm-site-2
