Rezoning approved for new seniors housing development in Sackville | PNI Atlantic News

"January 21, 2020... SACKVILLE, N.B. — John Lafford hopes to break ground on a new large-scale seniors housing development for Sackville in 2020.

The final step in the rezoning process was approved by town council last week, opening the door for the development to proceed. However, there is one more loophole to go through, according to Lafford.

“The starting point is when the road gets built,” said the Sackville developer. “Before we do anything, we need a road to it.”

The development, which is being proposed for an area in behind Wright Street and Fawcett Avenue, is anticipated to include a series of row houses as well as a private senior care facility. Lafford has referred to the proposal as a “village within or a village, a sort of retirement community in a campus-like setting.”

Lafford said this 22-acre development would be done in several phases over a period of about seven to 10 years.

“It’s going to be a great project,” said Lafford. “It’s a big piece of land and a big development.”

In the first phase, the plan is to build between 24 to 30 “garden homes,” similar to the ones his company Lafford Realty has already built on King Street and Waterfowl Lane. The one key difference, he said, will be the ability to allow for more green space and gardens, thanks to the large swath of land the development is being built on. It will also allow for a greater diversity of units, with the possibility of smaller or larger homes, depending on the market demand.

“Ultimately you build for the need,” said Lafford, noting there may be a desire for smaller, more affordable units or for larger, higher-end row houses.

The second phase will include construction of a senior care facility, which would be run by a private operator and would include the necessary staff, resources and amenities for dependent living, said Lafford. The third phase, which could be done at the same time as the second, depending on the level of demand, would be doubling the number of row house units.

Lafford said he is excited about being able to provide housing for the 55-plus population as the town also continues to boost its marketing towards the retirement market. He said in order to keep anchors such as the hospital and the university in Sackville, “we need to grow our population base.”

Lafford said he hopes to be able to partner with the town on development of the new public road.

“The sooner the road gets there, the sooner it can start.”

Bruce Wark Boosts Reactionaries Protesting RIGS Gas Plant Project - Could He Be Adding to The Hysteria?

"Councillor Greene responded that the assistant clerk had also heard the word ‘bomb’.

“And the threats, which I would define them as that, that this will be the next Oka, I did report those concerns to the RCMP as well,” she said.

“Because yes, they have had peaceful protests. They can change quickly and we need to ensure that that does not happen,” she added.

“If people get very upset about a concern or an issue in our community, people can be incited by even a single individual to behave in an inappropriate fashion and we want to ensure that we have good, clear headings moving forward on this and any other issue,” Greene concluded."

From Bruce Wark's latest article here:

Mayor’s controversial gas-plant statement survives tied Tantramar council vote |

Gen X Councillor Greene keeps it real.. and she is actually a really good soul for pointing out the problem with radicals who infiltrate activism groups.. if you are not familiar with this tactic yet I would think watching a documentary on the "Weather Underground" might help you out.. if you are naive that's a problem too.. and since the average age of people in this town is 51 there is no excuse for being ignorant when you have access to the internet... By behaving as angry reactionaries and I have questioned WHY their online group on Facebook is "closed" rather than open and transparent for good reason as they are not forthcoming with their actions, intentions, deeds, and discussions [THAT is a problem] but yet they will complain the government and NB Power are deceptive players -- this protest group of Sackville's "Seniors for Climate" group are well networked and are propagandized by many outside forces and most surely are unable to recognize they are being used as tools -- and they seem to be getting LOTS of boosting by Bruce Wark who does not always publish comments left at his website FYI -- you're actually adding to the noise and provocation rather than keeping calm and listening to more voices. Greene is correct to caution the public.

I am glad Councillor Greene bothers to speak out as she would have been privileged to hear from many people in our town and region.. and she is also honest enough to tell you what is being said and what concerns her; she has no reason to lie about anything but she is concerned and is speaking up now when it matters. Dep. Mayor Josh Goguen attempting to diminish Greene's credibility by saying the local protest group is peaceful [they have behaved as an angry mob in the past and yelled in council meetings in the town hall thereby intimidating people including the former Mayor Andrew Black and Deputy Mayor Matt Estabrooks] when Goguen in truth has no idea who is behind the "group" and what they might be capable of and what their tactics in the future might look like.. intimidation certainly plays a role as no one locally would dare speak up in favour of the gas plant at this point for fear of retribution by these organized folks I will call THE MOB .. Goguen is young and very naive and also has in the past been questioned at this blog for running a private and large Facebook group [gossip zone] in our region. One of the reasons this blog even exists is to counteract the radical greens in this region who dominate the rest and interfere with the local schools organizing "Climate Strikes" and other nonsense.

I wonder how many of these wonderful organizations are directly or indirectly the recipients of government funding?"

Things to think on....

" We don't need more overpacked, 'smart' cities with wi-fi .. we need more clever villages and wise towns willing to resist UN Agenda 2030 and the overreach of global governance / sustainable development NGOs and minions .. push back now while it still matters.. we cannot allow another generation to be indoctrinated to global citizenship and anti-nationalism.. your future and your children's future matters .. liberty matters.. personal freedoms matter... stop buying into the bullshitfest .. step away from their fake narrative and think for yourself .. borgminds must be opposed and exposed... regaining our power as sovereign beings is crucial .. #taxation is theft ~ #nannystatism is the enemy.. #ITS OKAY TO BE WHITE .. and its definitely okay to discuss controversial topics and ideas... especially in a university town - stop censoring yourselves
