Town of Espanola
Accepts an Offer to Purchase
8 Industrial Lots
Council for the Town of Espanola has
accepted an offer to purchase 8 industrial
lots in the Light Industrial Park on
Panache Lake Road. “The closing date is
set for March 31, 2012. The Corporation
of the Town of Espanola looks forward to
the start of construction in the spring by
Helios Storage Solutions. They plan to
develop several projects over the next few
years. We welcome Helios to Espanola
and to the Industrial Park.” says Mayor
Mike Lehoux.
“We are very excited at the approval of
this property purchase. Espanola seems
to be a great fit for our Company. The
affordability and quality of the serviced
Industrial lots are what brought us here,
but the personal dealings with the Town
Staff and Consultants is what sold us.
We cannot wait to become a community
involved company and aid in the growth
of this sector in Espanola.” Trevor Tario,
Director, VP – Energy Production.
“We are thrilled to have found our business
a home in Espanola. Our location in the
Espanola Industrial Park is a perfect fit
for us. With Espanola being the major hub
for North Shore and Manitoulin Island
it allows us to provide a much needed
service for the large camping population.
We will not only be providing a safe place
for people to store their boats, trailers,
and other personal storage needs, but will provide boat wraps and
winterizing services for our
customers. I look forward to
doing business in the Town
of Espanola.” Jeff Scharf,
Director, VP - Operations.
Helios Storage Solutions Phase
1 Project (set to start April/May
2012) is a 16,000 sq. ft. indoor
storage/warehousing facility
for personal/commercial/
industrial material and
equipment. The main market
will be self-storage units for
individuals looking for storage
space. Boats, RV’s, Quads, etc.
will have both indoor/outdoor
storage availability options and
winter/summer servicing of all
equipment will be available.
Helios Storage will also be
utilizing the Ontario Power
Authority’s FIT (Feed-In Tariff)
Program and will be installing
a 310kW rooftop solar array
to generate electricity back
into the provincial electrical
grid. Over the next few years,
new phases may include
industrial vestibules (small
operating areas/shops for
small business) as well as
build to suit projects for larger
customers. These projects
are still in the planning and
market research phase and
Helios Storage Solutions will
be working closely with local
Industry as well as larger
Northern Ontario businesses
to ensure they are creating a
value added Industrial Park to
enable local business growth
and job creation.
Helios Storage Solutions
was founded by 2 local
entrepreneurs, Trevor Tario
(President, Green Power
Solutions Inc.) and Jeff
Scharf (President, Roofing
Done Right). Both companies
will hold locations at the new
site to provide their services
to Espanola and area.
