Tannery Court Appeal
According to the Telegraph Journal, the appeal of the zoning variance for the Tannery Court housing development proposed for the South End has not succeeded:
Tannery Housing project will go ahead
An appeal to stop a controversial housing project from going ahead has been rejected. In a decision released April 14, the province's Assessment and Planning Appeal Board dismissed on all counts the action filed by Howard LaBillois and Suzanne Kingston, who argued the Tannery Court residential complex would cause them undue hardship. The family lives directly beside the surface parking lot that will soon be developed into 55 units for poor, non-elderly single people on Carmarthen Street in the city's south end.
This could get the project back on the rails – though the opponents aren’t likely to give up just yet.

This is a project that should not be put back on the rails. There is a lot of discussion on facebook on this matter for anyone who wishes to understand why there is such strong opposition to it.
