The City of Winnipeg is poised to develop some form of new industrial park in St. Boniface without a private-sector partner.

A special meeting of council’s property and development committee has been called for Tuesday afternoon to deal with Prairie Industrial Park, which was supposed to be developed south of the Winnipeg Aqueduct as a joint venture with Terracon.

Last week, property committee approved a plan to cancel the joint venture after the city and Terracon could not agree which party would cover the cost of provincial education taxes at the development. This move potentially threatened a Parmalat dairy plant expansion.

The special meeting called for Tuesday will deal with a plan for the city to install sewer, fire suppression and other services, said committee chairman John Orlikow (River Heights-Fort Garry).

A special meeting was called in order to allow the report to appear on Wednesday’s council agenda.
