Mattamy Homes – do you enhance the view with feed mills?

On my July 2nd blog, I mentioned that the factory that was constructing Mattamy homes in Milton was going to be closed. There was talk of the Town of Milton buying it, taking it apart and moving it to another site and utilizing it for recreational purposes. Deal fell through and it seems that Mattamy Homes sold it to a feed mill. Rose made a comment on this blog and voiced her frustration of having this thing sitting alongside their homes. Frustration due to the fact that Mattamy originally stated it would remove the structure once it was finished building and move it to another site to be utilized again for home construction.

The $64 Million Dollar question is: Will this feed mill be taken apart and moved to another site or, left on-site where it is? Now, you’d think that the Town of Milton would not have zoned the area for this type of activity but, did Mattamy have it zoned for this with the promise they would move it? Or, will they just sell it as is and the zoning will accommodate this new use?

Only the Town of Milton and Mattamy Homes know. I have sent off a missive to Mattamy asking them if they are going to leave Rose with the stunning view of feed mill or, will it be moved upon sale.

Let’s see if profit supercedes truth.

  1. That land is zoned residential. Mattamy partly wanted to sell it so they could build more homes there. No need to panic, they’ll still have homes there.

  2. GRAIN NEWS JULY 10,2009

    From :Stan Hinson

    Next building project in Milton,Ontario

    New State-of-the-Art Feed Mill in Milton.

    Two separate mixing, pelleting and bagging systems assure that products flow through the plant in a way that meets the expectations of customers and the requirements of the animals in their care.
    Its tower is 170 feet tall, with 80 bins for grain, bulk ingredients and finished feed.

    Location was chosen based on current customer base, market potential, distribution alternatives, community support and quality of the current building site.

    The mill is capable of producing both bag and bulk textured feeds as well as pellets and crumbles of various sizes.

  3. Yes, new grain mill but it is being built in Milton, WISCONSIN. I do like the part about “quality of the current building site”.. yes, that would be right about our Milton site. :-)
