Add in the units at the old hospital site, and several others around town, and I wonder who is going to buy these things.<br /><br />This is just one reason why I worry about the viability of a fancy new community centre right now. Have we already forgotten about all the lost jobs in our area? What will the Town be doing to help those dislocated workers besides building new hockey rinks?<br /><br />Maybe Plan B is to use the Centre as a shelter for homeless families.Deb O'Connornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-42281297136837179202009-06-24T16:44:35.019-04:002009-06-24T16:44:35.019-04:00great report Ben.You&#39;re darn right - how things are changing!<br /><br />Just wonder how the new projections reconcile with the market impact studies done by First Professional? All that commercial development was based on a much brighter scenario, remember? Time will tell!manfred schumannnoreply@blogger.com
