Prince Edward County
PEC Community Partners is an Ontario-based group of community builders including Tercot Communities. In 2021, the partnership purchased the Loch-Sloy Business Park and Picton Airport Lands comprising of approximately 750-acres in Prince Edward County, Ontario. The first priority is to revitalize the 750-acre site, a former World War II training base, which still houses original barracks and base facilities, now known and rebranded as Base31. Community engagement and collaboration will be central to shaping the future of the site. Base31 will be brought to life using the strategies and principles of creative placemaking to catalyze the revitalization and Energize the Landscape™ for generations to come.
Base31 is continuing to advance the adaptive re-use of the site’s heritage and plans to preserve as many buildings as possible.
Among the first capital projects undertaken by Base31 are three event venues: The Drill Hall, The Sergeants Mess Hall and The Lecture Hall that will start to bring new life to the site through concerts, festivals and events beginning in July of 2022. This site will serve as home to one of the nation’s largest revitalization projects.
