The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is moving forward with the next phase of development at the Bloomfield Business Park, following Council’s approval of the contract award for Phase 3 construction.
The Municipality has awarded the $1.38 million construction tender to Clarke Construction Inc.. The project will extend municipal infrastructure along Seventh Line West, supporting continued growth and future business development within the business park.
“Continued investment in the Bloomfield Business Park helps ensure that Chatham-Kent remains ready for new business opportunities and job creation,” said Mayor Darrin Canniff. “Expanding infrastructure within the park strengthens our ability to attract and support economic development along the Highway 401 corridor.”
Phase 3 of the project includes extending sanitary sewer servicing, upgrading the existing gravel portion of Seventh Line West to a paved rural roadway with shoulders and drainage swales, and installing additional utilities including overhead hydro, street lighting, natural gas, and telecommunications services.
As part of the work along Seventh Line West, some trees located within the municipal right-of-way will need to be removed to accommodate the road and infrastructure upgrades, however the adjacent municipal tree lot will remain in place and will not be impacted by the construction.
Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2026, with completion expected in late summer 2026.
