The City of Thunder Bay has failed to find a party interested in paying nearly $2.4 million for the site of a former paper mill. Officials opened tenders on Tuesday for 550 Shipyard Road and a number of other properties it listed for sale due to accrued taxes. There were no bids for the brownfield site on the waterfront where a mill operated for nearly a century before being demolished. The minimum offer the city could accept was $2,351,000, which is the amount of owed taxes. The property formerly owned by Superior Fine Papers was purchased in 2019 by Alan Cheeseman, who operates Wilderness North just across the street. …In an interview earlier this month, he expressed frustration over his inability to reach some kind of accommodation with the city, but the city responded that it is committed to supporting redevelopment opportunities to the extent that legislation allows.
