The City will complete an Environmental Record of Site Condition (RSC) for the former Fairgrounds property to support its potential redevelopment for housing and determine the highest and best use of the site. This process includes a series of technical environmental testing, review and documentation in accordance with provincial regulations to ensure the property is suitable for residential use. Completing the RSC and assessing the site’s optimal use are key steps in preparing the property for future development opportunities that can contribute to Belleville’s housing supply. In order to determine the highest and best use of the site, additional background studies may be required including a Parks Analysis Study and a Transportation Impact Study.
This project will support Belleville’s Housing Accelerator Fund 2 – Initiative 2: Develop City-Owned Lands for Housing, under Milestone 2: Accelerate development and remediation process of city-owned lands using funds from the 2025 Operating Budget (D4-5).
