Future Use of Surplus Farmside Lands

The Municipality of North Grenville is seeking input from the community on additional uses for the provincially owned, 182-acre parcel of farm-side lands formerly owned by Kemptville College – located across from the Kemptville Campus.

As plans for the forthcoming correctional facility evolve, the Municipality of North Grenville has been advised by the Ministry of the Solicitor General that there will be significant surplus or remaining lands that are separate and apart from what is required to build the correctional facility.

The use by the community of these surplus lands will not impact the plans for the provincial correctional facility which the Government of Ontario expects to be operational by 2027.

Council has formally requested long term use/or permanent acquisition by the Municipality of North Grenville of these surplus farm-side lands that will not be used by the future correctional facility as soon as possible.

We are seeking valuable input from the public on how best to use the lands to establish community-driven agricultural and related projects.

We are seeking feedback on North Grenville’s vision for a community hub: a multi-faceted community green space that would support education, food production and food security, health, wellness, recreation, environmental sustainability, and economic development.
