There seems to be some confusion about when construction will begin on a metal shredder at port property on the lower West Side. There was a report it would start Monday but a spokesperson for American Iron and Metal tells CHSJ News the company is still waiting for final approval from the province and she doesn't expect construction to get underway until mid February.
Stephen Campbell, who chairs the Board of Directors, at the port tells CHSJ News this won't be as disruptive to the neighbourhood as people fear. In fact, he describes the operation as "cutting edge" and predicts it will revitalise the area.
The Environment Department wants the company to take on an independent noise consultant and monitor the air quality.
