Espanola council unanimously approved a proposal from a long-time developer for a new sub-division in the town’s south end.
George Wade had originally looked at developing the Brentwood Village subdivision over 30 years ago, but the project was halted following the former Mike Harris government’s freeze on new builds.
However, Wade had kept the project front of mind and now has the town approval to move ahead on developing 27 new housing units geared to seniors.
Council approved consent applications to sever lots and a zoning amendment to move ahead for the building of a road with several stipulations.
If all are met, construction will begin in the near future and all the units will be constructed over the next three to four years.
