How much would it cost to keep the former CNR shops building at the Grand Trunk Site. The first open house saw Ritz share his solution to 235 attendants on Nov. 25 at the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Hall. He added this open house will feature guest speakers talking about the current structure of the site, Stratford’s feats despite being a smaller city, and next steps. City council voted to keep a portion of the site’s steel structure. Following the open house, Ritz hopes City Council can hold a special council meeting where he could present his findings to them.
