Two Rothesay contractors are asking Town Council for permission to build 24 high end condo units near Rothesay Elementary School.

The construction would change the area to moderate density.

Mayor Bill Bishop says he hopes the project goes forward claiming Rothesay is lacking in condo style living.

Some questions were raised from council members about possible flooding because of a stream that runs under Highland Avenue.

The contractors say an engeeneering firm will be hired to minimize flooding.

The public has until June 9th to submit any concerns to council but no date for a public hearing has yet been set.
