New development to reshape east Windsor: Is Costco coming?
Heavy construction equipment is seen at the site of a large box store commercial development in east Windsor. June 19, 2025. (Chris Campbell/CTV News Windsor) A development in east Windsor is being called the, 'catalyst that's going to reshape the entire neighbourhood.' That's according to Brook Handysides, senior vice president and sales representative with real estate company CBRE, which has announced that a deal to assemble the land and develop the infrastructure needed for a major box store commercial development in the east end has been finalized. Handysides points to the project benefitting over a dozen vacant parcels of land in the area. 'Ultimately, how that ends up getting developed over time, it will mature effectively as this first development takes off,' he said. 'It's just going to be positive things for the East Windsor area and the Tecumseh-Lauzon retail corridor. CBRE Windsor, on behalf of Rock Developments, worked for two years to bring together the deal on a 33-acre piece of property north of Tecumseh Road East and west of Catherine Street, just off Lauzon Parkway, behind the east-end Walmart and Home Depot. While it has yet to be confirmed exactly what the development will be, the conceptual drawing presented to the city shows it will include the colour 'Costco Red.' In early February, city council approved over $19.6-million in funding to support land acquisition costs and infrastructure upgrades to service the project, including road work and storm and sanitary sewer additions, while the developer will contribute almost $10.7 million to the work. The Forest Glade North Secondary Plan Area has identified the need for two new north-south collector roads to service the area north of Tecumseh Road, between Jefferson Boulevard and Lauzon Parkway. The collector roads would extend from Tecumseh Road (Roseville Gardens Drive) and include the future westerly extension of Catherine Street, work that is also expected to open access to several other vacant lots near the east-end Walmart and RONA for future development. east windsor - development - june 2025 Heavy construction equipment is seen at the site of a large box store commercial development in east Windsor.

'Lands that are effectively dormant to development until now, with them being unlocked with the services and road construction that will happen in this area to ultimately accommodate this end user,' he added. According to Handysides, the area already has a significant retail footprint within this zone, including Tecumseh Mall, combined with residential densification around Lauzon and McHugh Street. 'Retail likes to see rooftops, and when you see more residents moving into the area and you have the road infrastructure to accommodate it, it just makes it right for continued densification. That's ultimately why I think this deal came together,' he said. The development calls for commercial uses that will include retail, a gas station, and restaurants, with the gas pumps expected to be part of Phase 1. The plan also calls for approximately 25,000 square meters of floor space and just under 1,400 parking spots. Windsor already has a Costco located at 4411 Walker Rd., not far from Provincial Road. — Rusty Thomson/AM800 News

She's confined to wheelchair — and now a state champ: 'We're so thankful she's part of this program'
WEST LAFAYETTE – Gordon Wood only manages to get a few words out before stepping aside to take a few deep breaths. They're meaningful pauses from the Tecumseh softball coach, who's fighting a losing battle with his emotions as he answers a question about team manager Jackie Biehler in the aftermath of the Braves' 2-0 win over Andrean in the Class 2A state championship game. Wood coached Biehler in Cub ball as a middle schooler, something he does in the fall so the youngsters 'know what to expect from an old grouchy coach and vice versa.' Biehler broke her neck doing a gymnastics stunt in summer 2021, he explains. It was a severe injury, one which required her to be life-flighted to Norton's Children Hospital in Louisville and left her on a ventilator and feeding tube. IHSAA softball state finals: Scores, highlights and photos 'It all means so much': Lizzy Sinders caps Clay City career at state with dad as coach, sister as AD. 'She's a very, very talented kid. They didn't think she was going to live. She couldn't hardly breathe,' Wood says, stepping aside once more to collect himself. 'It took a toll on the entire family. It still does.' Biehler remains on the road to recovery. She's breathing and eating on her own, able to talk and has limited use of her arms and legs, getting around via a motorized wheelchair. What she has endured these past few years would dampen the light in most people. Not Jackie Biehler. 'She's had a really great attitude... You won't find a tougher kid,' Wood said, explaining how she first approached him about being an equipment manager before last season and has been a staple in the Tecumseh dugout ever since (she handles the team's walk-up music). 'We love Jackie,' senior Katelyn Marx beamed. 'She shows up with a smile every day. We know she can't do the stuff that we do, but she is a hell of a lot of fun to be around.' Biehler was there Saturday, of course, proudly seated inside the Tecumseh dugout watching as freshman Audrey Seiler weaved in and out of danger in the circle and Marx, a Miss Softball finalist and the 2A Mental Attitude Award recipient, provided one last signature performance, going 2-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI double. "I'm just glad they let me be part of the team," Biehler says as her teammates begin clearing out of the third-base dugout. She played her last season of Cub ball with them in seventh grade and was in the dugout for last year's runner-up finish to Rossville, too. "It's really exciting to be able to win one. (And) I'm just really excited I get to do it with them." There never were any questions surrounding Biehler's involvement with the program and her teammates — unsurprisingly — have embraced her, chatting with her during pregame warmups and celebrating with her in the dugout following big plays. Marx described Biever as a light in the dugout, constantly talking up her teammates and giving them high-fives. "Like I said, she's fun to be around," Marx said. "We're so thankful that she's part of this program." Biehler was recognized during the postgame awards ceremony, same as she was last year, with teammate Bianca Lochmueller helping adjust her medal after it was draped around her neck. When it came time for photos, a couple players checked to make sure Biehler had made it over. She did, taking her place alongside the seniors in the front row. "I enjoy it," Biehler smiled. "I enjoy hanging out with all my friends and doing things I used to love to do, like going to the gym and hanging out at the softball field." Added Wood: "You can't help but love her."
