Jordel Acres is a 49 hectare site at 1966 Roger Stevens Drive within the boundary of the Village of North Gower and on the 416 interchange. The land has been continuously farmed for over 200 years. For many years it had been zoned specifically for future use as a business park for small businesses that support the agricultural and local community. It is bordered by houses on Third Line. Examples of businesses that were envisaged there were a farmers market, small agricultural equipment warehouses, a dog groomers, a small motel. The original zoning set aside space for an additional 10 homes and a recreational area for a daycare, ice rink or other facility that would benefit the village. The parcel of land contains a drumlin, a natural feature that provides much needed drainage and recharges local wells. The drumlin may have archeological significance as a heritage site, as the nearby drumlin in Kars does. Indigenous people are well documented to have inhabited this region and had a trail along higher ground in the area, of which 1966 Rogers Stevens Drive is the highest point locally There is also a forested area with endangered butternut trees and part of the land is on a floodplain.

Building a massive e-commerce distribution center on this site will overwhelm the resources and infrastructure of the unserviced village of North Gower. It will cause traffic safety issues particularly for the many school buses and slow moving agricultural vehicles in the area, add substantial noise and air pollution, will destroy elements of natural and cultural heritage, and put the village at greater risk of flooding. Finally, the village of North Gower will not have the opportunity for healthy, diversified growth in the future, but will instead have to support a single business with no local connections that directly competes for an already limited labour pool with the farming community and local businesses.
