While Georgia-Pacific (former Dixie Cup) at Queen and McMurchy is still a going concern, the City of Brampton is planning for the area's long-term future, including the eventual closure of that factory. The removal of the Dixie Cup railway spur also allows for some changes.
It's a rather interesting site planning exercise, protecting for urban intensification of the area to the immediate west of Downtown Brampton, using several underused or vacant commercial and industrial properties (and the various parking lots of low-rise rental slabs off of McMurchy North). The report includes massing proposals for a vacant industrial site and a plaza at the corner of McLaughlin and Queen.
