Since that time, a number of developâ€" ments have occurred that are related to the brewery site. In the interests of keeping you fully informed, Labatt would like to advise you of the following: j 1. A Consulting Team has been formed by Labatt to explore future use of the Waterloo Brewery site. The team has been consulting with City of Waterloo officials to explore land use concepts that satisfy the objectives of Labatt in decomâ€" missioning the site and address the needs of Waterloo. A number of options are currently being considered and an announcement will be made on this matter before the end of summer 1993. Z. Labatt has transferred all usable machinery to our other operations and sold any remaining surplus equipment. 3. Labatt intends to proceed with demolition with the expectation that this phase of the project will be completed by fall 1993. The first phase, the Mechanical Demolition, is expected to commence May 31, 1993. The Kuntz House facing King Street will be retained.
