I am hearing that you don't need much space because hardly anyone will use the station, yet it will somehow kick off a transformation of Grimsby in to an urban planning utopia. This isn't a convenient place to get to AT ALL. Convenient is right off the highway at Casablanca. Inconvenient is not close to highway access in the clogged awkwardly laid out centre part of the town. Put the damn thing beside the highway which is where everyone can drive to in 10 minutes. Everyone talks about co-locating stations with retail, well guess what is right there at the Casablanca exit. This isn't the place to blow cash on an urban planning fantasy. Just get them on the train.
Casablanca Blvd isn't convenient if you happen to live in Grimsby. By your logic, the Brampton GO Station should be moved to somewhere by Highway 410 as Downtown Brampton is too congested, and there's not enough parking.
Centennial Station will be right next to a QEW interchange, so would an infill Fifty Road Station.
I'd have two stations to serve the area: one at Fifty Road, and one in Downtown Grimsby. It would cost a bit more than having one station at Casablanca, but you'd be able to serve urban commuters and car-dependent people that way.
