The deal finalized at this week's Common Council meeting with Emera and the City completing the rezoning and transfer of 27 acres of waterfront property.
Susan Harris of Emera tells CHSJ News the land was purchased back when work began on the natural gas pipeline and at the time it was suggested the land could be used as a park but, they didn't know then how they might need it. Members of the community want to add walking trails and places for sitting.
The land is located along the St. John River toward Reversing Rapids.
