Love reading your newsletter, Andrew! It strikes a great balance between local news and musings about PG. I think your pothole math is out by a factor of 10 ;) 2,500 x 30 = 75,000
Re: Housing. Isn’t there supposed to be more than one tower built at the NR Motors site on 1st ave? Or has that all fallen through? Move Sullivan RV and there would be room for at least two more housing apartments.
I've been wondering about this myself. I have a bit of inside info from a former NR/Sullivan employee, which I think is also public info (or is now!), that the site was first leased by NR (from the Province?) and when the business was bought by Sullivan, the lease was for another two years. Andrew K will have to fact check that. 😉
That former employee who told me this was living at first in the NR mobile home/office on the Ottawa street, and then moved into the employee's (small, old, poorly heated) camper van that was permitted to be parked on-site. This was while working full-time there because they couldn't afford housing here. This employee was concerned about their job and where they would go once the building started on the affordable housing units. Is that irony?
(this person has since moved back east to be closer to siblings and has retired, for all intents and purposes. They keep in touch with me from time to time)
