The Valérie Plante administration and the technology firm Hypertec have reached a $30.6-million deal that will result in the conservation of an 11-hectare section of ecologically valuable lands in the Technoparc area, The Gazette has learned.
The deal is in line with Mayor Plante’s 2021 election promise to expand Des Sources Nature Park, creating a 175-hectare conservation area almost as big as Mount Royal Park, in the undeveloped lands in and around the Technoparc industrial park and north of Trudeau International Airport. Plante pledged to rezone and conserve all city-owned, undeveloped holdings in the Technoparc and to work with other levels of government to purchase and/or protect the rest of this valuable wetlands ecosystem.
