Belleville City Council carried a motion to approve a local industry’s application for rebates as part of their plans for a significant expansion.
BCS Automation Ltd., along with landowner Bowland Company Ltd., applied to the City of Belleville’s Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to help pay the costs of a new $10.7 million, 38,000 square foot manufacturing building at 435 Station Street.
