My wife and I chose Grimsby to live in while we raise a family because of the memories I had growing up here and the atmosphere of a small town with a great community feel.

We love the mature neighbourhoods and the character of the homes, new communities are just so many cookie cutter boxes arranged to generate dollars per square foot for developers that don’t care about the current residents.

Specifically, the development on the Burgess property will be a looming eye sore in comparison to all the surrounding properties. I can’t imagine living here if the traffic on residential streets mirrors Burlington - a short term gain in dollars will be the long term ruin of the feel of Grimsby as it stands today.
