Abbey St. Andrew update

The 225 year old Church of St. Andrew St. David isn’t letting age slow it down.  In spite of several hurdles the church group is still planning to start construction of a mixed-income housing development at the corner of Duke and Charlotte Streets within 4 to 6 weeks.  94.1 FM news reported:

“Just a few more hurdles to jump for advancement on the Abbey St. Andrews project.

Chair Peter Jollymore tells CHSJ News, they are seeking approval from New Brunswick Housing on the changes to the design they have made, and says the timeline for construction start is over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Jollymore says common council has recently named the Abbey Saint Andrew project one of the most important housing starts in the city for this year, and says that vote of support will help the progress of the mixed income housing project.
