A flurry of activity is swirling around the Greenwich-Mohawk Brownfield area just as the city is dosing in with its plan to take it over for a cleanup and redevelopment.

Some members of the committee - made up mostly of citizens - had come with copies of a questionnaire that King and Benton Development Corp. has circulated around the Eagle Place neighborhood, soliciting information for its proposal and volunteers to sit on a community advisory committee.

Ceschi-Smith, the committee's chair-woman, responded by handing over a binder containing a draft proposal by King and Benton that calls for a massive $55-million redevelopment of the Greenwich-Mohawk Brownfield area.

Councillors John Starkey and Marguerite Ceschi-Smith want to clarify that the city is not connected to a questionnaire circulated by developer King and Benton to residents about plans for the Greenwich-Mohawk brown-field area.

King and Benton, the document says, "plans to redevelop the Greenwich-Mohawk Eagle Place site and has begun the process of developing its proposal for Brantford council to consider."

"We are looking for private-sector partners and King and Benton is one of the prospective companies we hope will come forward," she said.

But she stressed the implementation plan, which could be released to the brown-fields committee as early as the next meeting, will take into account the study already done.
