Rothesay residents living in four mixed income apartment buildings on Scott Avenue have scored a victory. Town council has passed a motion not to move ahead at this time with plans that would displace them from their homes. Resident, Joy Clowater says the decision is not set in stone, but it's good enough.
An option was on the table for Rothesay to buy and demolish the apartment buildings in order to build a new field house on Scott Avenue. Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News that's not council's wish. Bishop says, while there is nothing they can do about future council's reversing the decision, this council is not interested in demolishing the buildings. Instead, the town is now looking at another piece of property further down the road that is larger and with only one home on it.
