Dorian had agreed to expropriate his land and trade it to Windsor Port Authority in exchange for the public preservation of Ojibway Shores.
According to Steve Salmons, President and CEO of Windsor Port Authority, after an evaluation of the site, the port decided to back out of the deal approximately one year ago. Once both parties started, you know, lifting the carpet and doing the numbers, it just wasn t a good decision for either party, said Salmon.
Salmons said Windsor Port Authority no longer felt the property was economically attractive due to the amount of enhancements and the money it would cost.

Downtown Windsor has the highest COVID-19 rate in the city, but one of the lowest vaccination rates in the region.(Jennifer La Grassa/CBC) comments
Downtown Windsor has the highest rate of COVID-19 in the city, yet it s also one of the least vaccinated areas.
And it s not the only city hot spot identified by the province with that same trend: high COVID-19 rates, lower socio-economic status and low vaccination rates.
Windsor s city centre, with postal code N9A, is one of seven other postal code areas the province pinpointed in Windsor-Essex as being the hardest hit by COVID-19. Those hot spots are now being prioritized by the province for vaccinations for people aged 50 and older as the government works to get ahead of the third wave.
