McCoy HoliZ*ngs Limited, owners of the land site where Brooklin Con- crete now sits. Purchased originally for com- mercial use, part of the land bas been rezoned by the Town and can, no longer be used com- ercially. John McCoy said Monday night that a building originally scheduled to be buit on that land' was subsequently bujît in Port Perry because there was "less hassie." The Ministry of the Environ- ment is now opposing the appli- cation because, says the owner, they have mis'understood inten- tions with respect to a ditch that runs tbrough the property. "They tWought we were ,going to MIi t in, but we're not, said McCoy. McCoy feels cautiously opti- mistic that when this is ironed out, he will then be free to develop the land and expand the Brooklin Concrete facility which bas been operating for 35 years.'
