Proposed Seniors' Complex In Millidgeville Has Detractors

Common Council will receive a proposal tonight for a seniors' development at 700 Millidge Avenue which would be just above University Avenue. 

The proposal would consist of four buildings being constructed in a campus style layout for seniors suffering dementia to those who are still active and mobile. 

Common Council can refer the rezoning applpication to the Planning Advisory Committee or deny it outright, which appears unlikely. 

There have been written objections received by the city which argue the land should be kept in its natural state as an urban reserve so what's left of the wetland isn't destroyed and this will be a test of the councillors' resolve to adhere to the vision of Plan SJ
