The City of Port Colborne has received significant interest in serviced industrial land. As a result, the City has decided to issue an RFP (Request for Proposal) for the site as a means of allowing all interested parties an equal opportunity to be considered as a purchaser for this property.

The RFP process will allow potential purchasers to promote their development to the City, showcasing it as having a positive economic impact on the community. This process will allow the City to evaluate all proposals on an equal footing with the information provided. Those submitting proposals are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible to support their development proposal and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the proposed use.

Proposals will be evaluated by a City Project Review Team based on various factors, including price offered, job creation, timing from sale to commencement of build, and economic diversity. Proposals will be ranked and selected to move to a formal agreement of purchase and sale. City Council will be presented with the proposals, evaluations, and it is they who will make the final decision.

Proposals should be emailed to Jessica Beaupre, Jessica.Beaupre@portcolborne.ca Deputy City Clerk. Please ensure your email and attachments have been acknowledged by the City contact person. For hard copy submissions, please provide five (5) hard copies to Attn: Jessica Beaupre, Deputy City Clerk, 2nd Floor, Port Colborne City Hall, 66 Charlotte Street, Port Colborne, ON L3K 3C8, on or before July 31st, 2025, but no later than 2:00 p.m. (EST).
