I've always thought that Windsor really should have been be doing much better than it has been over the years. With its location and climate you'd think a lot more people would want to move there but I'm betting that it is already starting to happen. I do know of people from Timmins who have moved there for retirement. The city has a lot of potential for many industries. The completion of Hwy 401 and the new bridge will have a very positive impact.

Windsor was basically, for most of the 20th century, an industrial city controlled by the big auto unions. The city never really tried to be anything more, as there was big money from all the auto factories flowing into town. As factories started closing, and new investments became harder to land, the city started to try to diversify its economy, but that proved to be a difficult task with the city's strong Union and industrial reputation.
Things started to change once the former mayor Eddie Francis came into office. He made huge changes into how the city was run, fixed its finances, broke the unions control of city council, and started to make huge investments into our infrastructure, modernizing it, and embarking on major beautification efforts in strategic parts of the city.
Windsor today is much stronger and more diversified than ever. The Auto industry is still big in the region, but is much more high tech and inovative than in the past. The new international crossing and parkway will spur major new developements! Especially in logistics and warehousing.
The economy is strong, the housing market is extremely healthy and word is getting out about how great and affordable the region is and what it has to offer. Windsor is finally coming into its own, and I fully expect the area will continue to grow and build on its assets, and will experience a major Renaissance much like our sister city across the river is currently experiencing.

Awesome! It's always nice to hear good news about places that have been struggling.

So true...the damn unions ran the city for so long but Eddie sure put a stop to that!! I wouldn't be surprised at all if his brother Fred becomes our next mayor.
