This property was used by Dimac Manufacturing Company and is currently for sale. The businesses surrounding this property are currently manufacturing type industries and many of them have not had a zoning change from R-2. In order to assist in keeping and bringing in new businesses to this area, of our Association area, we do request changing this property to I-2. We would encourage the use of Vimy Ridge Road and overpass to be utilized for the traffic this business would incur and not Alexander Road. Thank you.
