30 Westville Community Meeting
22 ATTENDEES
Thanks to everyone who joined the 30 Westville Street meeting last night! The community was in strong support of the suggested use of a facility providing community services, as well as open space. A
strong preference was communicated for any parking to be limited to those using the site. The next step will be a community process regarding a possible zoning change for one of the parcels from open space to one that allows for development as a building.
Sep 07 2021
In order to proceed with the community's vision for this site, a zoning change would be necessary to one parcel. In September, DND will hold a meeting regarding this possible zoning change. BPDA will be present to discuss the zoning process and possible change, and answer questions. Please join us!
