On Monday, Windsor City Council will consider rezoning land, 160 acres, that for decades belonged to the Chrysler van plant on Pillette Rd. This is the last big hurdle before being able to market the property to corporate investors. Conversion of the lands into smaller parcels of serviced land is hoped to bring new industrial investment and a rebirth in the city's industrial sector by attempting to encourage people to start up smaller sized companies. Among projects for the smaller land parcels are warehousing, logistics, research and development and light assembly companies. Chrysler will keep once parcel of 25 acres to use for storing minivans and other vehicles.
Production at the former Chrysler plant started in 1976 and ended in June 2003. The plant in it's prime employed 2,200 employees and built 424 full-sized vans per day.
These lands have been renamed Grand Central Business Park.
