Two separate development projects will be taking the next step in the downtown.

City Hall unanimously agreed to allow development plans for Fenwick Tower proposal to enter the public initiation stage.

Councillor Sue Uteck explains.

"The community was comfortable to initiate staff to say 'let's have the support and go forward,'" she said. "There will always be changes somewhere along the line, but I think in the end it could be a win-win for the neighbourhood. There might be changes or there might be no changes."

The proposal has two additional buildings flanking Fenwick Tower, ground-level shops as well as apartments and townhouses.

Thank you Sue Utech.

The contentious plan to develop the City Centre Atlantic building on Spring Garden Road also got a green light during council's meeting yesterday afternoon.

Councillor Dawn Sloane explains council has agreed to send the proposed development of the City Centre Atlantic building to a public hearing.

This is what gets me. Why does it require a public hearing? It is the third phase of a development.
