Quinte West, Ontario

QUINTE WEST , ONTAR IO river crossing and everything was fine. We went ahead with the project and were scheduled to cross the river in July and August, but in 2019, the federal Department of Oceans and Fisheries said we couldn’t do it. We made many phone calls and finally were able to make our case and thankfully common sense prevailed and we got the go ahead.” The new wastewater line is part of a significant development project at the west end of the city along Hwy #2. Harrison explains, “Staicos Homes Ltd. controls 30 acres of land there and Nick Staicos is going right ahead with that housing. The demand for housing and living quarters here is going crazy. He’s also creating a shopping plaza on the south end of the property next to the highway, and then he’s going to build offices and some high-end investments. It will be a beautiful part of our city – it’s just in the beginning stages but Nick is the kind of guy that will make it happen, sooner rather than later.”
