Conservation authority hopes to remove 14 greenhouses Craig Campbell & Mike Pearson, Dundas Star News Staff Published on Dec 11, 2009 By requesting a $131,822 interest-free loan from the City of Hamilton, the Hamilton Conservation Authority is taking a first step towards remediation of the former Veldhuis greenhouse property purchased nearly one year ago. If everything goes according to plan, the long process of cleaning up the site should begin early next spring. Tony Horvat, the HCA director of land management, said last week the requested loan would pay for the removal of 14 unused greenhouses on the property. It will not pay for removal of five existing commercial and residential buildings, and one operating greenhouse, which will remain there for at least another full year. “We’d like to be finished by the first of May (2010),” Horvat said of removing the first 14 greenhouses. “I might have to adjust that date.” The loan request is expected to be considered by city councillors
