That’s a local response to the council’s approval of a major hotel, conference center and restaurant on King Street in NOTL.
Where is the logic and common sense to think that a large hotel could fit into the Parliament Oak Property? You have heard all the reasons why this is unsuitable, but the five councillors who agreed to change the existing zoning regulations solely for the profit of the developers is mind-boggling.
Very disappointed to see how this municipal council lets the developer do his thing.
Four generations of my family currently live and live here and one person arrives and tips the apple cart, with the help of our community! Staff!
Well, our large proportion of older residents, maybe the developer could buy all our properties if we become extinct! No more problems for the developer, because he becomes the owner of the city!
