A Step Forward for Wiliams' Development

To no surprise, St. John's City Council has approved development above the 190 metre contour. That paves the way for a major residential and commercial development proposed by none other than former premier Danny Williams. The rezoning must now be approved by the Department of Municipal Affairs prior to the city accepting proposals. Mayor Dennis O'Keefe calls it a very important step forward.

The approval would give Williams the go-ahead to start his development near Southlands. O'Keefe says he hopes the province acts quickly. He says it is very important that phase one of the development not be delayed, because it could cause further delays over the span of the 15-20 years of the project.
