One local residents’ group, the Black Creek Alliance, wants the land to be turned into parkland instead. St. Helen’s Meat Packers Limited wants to purchase 200 Rockcliffe Ct., near Jane St. and Alliance Ave., a piece of land that’s remained vacant for decades. Some residents are at odds with plans for a proposed meat packing plant on a vacant lot near the Junction because they say it sits on a contaminated site that is flood prone. “Putting pavement on a floodplain is counterintuitive, it doesn’t make sense — it can’t absorb the water,” she said. The issue, right now, is not who’s purchasing the site but that the land should not be sold, the eight acres.
