After being tied up for two years in Heritage Trust appeals, it appears this project has the green light to go ahead.
CBC reports that the Supreme Court has dismissed the group's final appeal. The Court agreed with the UARB, which had ruled HRM council reasonably interpreted the municipal planning strategy.
The HT's Andrew Murphy, knowing better than the learned justices of the court, opined that the flood gates are open: "Council can do anything it wants."
AMK Barrett Investments lawyer Jason Cooke "strongly disagreed" with Murphy. "Quite the opposite, it's an application of the relevant policies."
Murphy said the developer is eager to start work on the project.
