The building at 28 Nelson Street West in Meaford, formerly Smith’s Tire Service, will be demolished beginning on Tuesday, June 8th 2021 in preparation of the property becoming a Municipal parking lot.

In 2019 Meaford Council approved the purchase of the 28 Nelson Street property to use as an additional parking lot serving Meaford’s downtown core. The purchase was funded by a combination of Development Charges and the 2019 surplus. Staff have estimated that once converted, the parking lot will be able to accommodate 35-40 parking spaces.

“Having parking available is essential to supporting our downtown businesses” said Manager of Strategic Initiatives Janet Sperling. “Following the demolition, we anticipate the parking lot will be well used by visitors to the downtown.”
