A major, multi-year project to fill low areas of the property. This will allow eventual construction of track and display buildings per our official site plan once completed.

The project started in October 2004, with the placement of 120 loads of fill from the construction of the new Quattrocchi warehouse annex, and material from the museum property. In the summer of 2005, vast quantities of fill were received from a major reconstruction of the lower part of Church Street in Smiths Falls. Many smaller amounts of fill have been received as well from other projects. Starting in September 2008, another major effort began, which would add over 1500 loads of fill from two major local projects- the new Smiths Falls water filtration plant, and the redevelopment of the Smiths Falls Hospital.

Starting in July 2009, work will began north of the mainline, including some material from the new Smiths Falls Arena construction as well as further material excavated from the hospital site in spring 2010. As other major construction projects in Smiths Falls allow, this work will continue.
