The move has generated considerable controversy. It is supported by the Chamber of Commerce and opposed by Citizens Against Pig Slaughterhouse and Hamiltonians for Development with Vision. The decision process includes the sale of city land to Maple Leaf and its rezoning to permit the proposed use. Maple Leaf initially approached city officials in March 2004.
