The company needs the go ahead from the Niagara Escarpment commission, along with First Nations, the municipality, and the conservation authority .

Caframo develops and manufactures fans, heaters, lab and boat equipment.

"We've grown in the last 20 years from 20 employees, to 80 employees this year, and we are anticipating over the next five years growing by another 40, but we've already run out of space," says Solecki.
