The town says this will help restore power during emergencies, such as winter storm
The Town of Fort Erie is now able to better handle weather conditions such as severe winter.
The town says Holland Power Services has opened a $3-million, 13,000 square foot facility, that'll provide emergency power restoration services.
The Canadian company has locations in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Maine, and in 2022, bought roughly 6-acres of vacant industrial land in Stevensville.
It wanted to open in Niagara near the Canada/US border.
Mayor Wayne Redekop says Holland Power is a recognized leader in emergency power restoration services, and the town is thrilled the company has chosen Fort Erie at its newest base.
