NEW YORK: The four hundred and second entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
Residents near a proposed not-for-profit seniors housing complex have mixed feelings about what the Spruce Street building will mean for their troubled neighbourhood.
The 27-unit, three storey apartment is up for third reading Monday night before council, which has already passed first and second reading.
The building’s next-door neighbour, and owner of a duplex, was unequivocal that the building would be “good news.”
“I am wholeheartedly in support for that project. The location is perfect with amenities so close at hand,” Andy Wilhemsen wrote to council, adding a new sidewalk would be good for walkers or scooters.
“I think it will add stability to the area economically and socially. Big hoorah from me!”
M’akola Development Services for the Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George is asking that the seven lots they own at 1811 Spruce St. be rezoned to mid-rise residential, as some are in the multiple residential category.
