Battery facility

Dear Editor:

The battery storage facility slated for Belwood is quietly being slipped into the south end of Fergus on prime agricultural property.

This is a short distance from the grand entrance the township wants to put in for Fergus and the very large developments on both sides of Highway 6.

What is being done to contain the property in the event of a spill or air pollution over the town of Fergus in the event of fire?

These battery facilities do not have a good track record in the U.S. when it comes to fires. 

Watch this one very closely, folks.

J. Alexander,
Fergus
