Economic Development Minister Vic Fedeli said Thursday the province is supporting Wilmot and the region of Waterloo with funds to help purchase farmland for industry development in the community.
In a statement on X, Fedeli said that “it is disappointing to see recent events unfold” in the region, “particularly the threat of expropriation at the onset of this process.”
"While the province is supporting the Region of Waterloo with funding to help purchase the land, it is the sole responsibility of the region to assemble the site and work collaboratively with all affected communities and stakeholders," the statement reads.
