    About the project

    The Collingwood Grain Terminals have a long history in our community. They are highly prominent and iconic. They have been unused since 1993, and for years, many have been wondering about their future.

    Since 2019, Town Council has been taking action to consider the options to revitalize the Terminals. The costs for the Town to revitalize the Terminals are more than taxpayers can afford. As such, Council approved entering a private-sector partnership, which opens the door for the Town to do more for the community. It achieves three critical goals:

    1.    It ensures the Town maintains ownership of most of the lands.
    2.    It gives the Town authority to set expectations and hold private partners to account.
    3.    It brings greater value for taxpayers’ dollars because it leverages private investment to upgrade and enhance public spaces and meet community needs.

    Based on community input, Council approved a set of 16 Guiding Principles to form the basis of a partnership. In 2021, Town staff went to tender to find a potential partner to work with the Town on the revitalization project.

    In August 2022, Streetcar and Dream was chosen as the successful company for this partnership because their proposed vision had the greatest alignment with the Guiding Principles.
