The town is planning to make grants and loans for owners within a designated area to spruce up and re-vitalise their vintage properties at taxpayer expense.
The new information is about who isn't prepared to make financing available, to complete the sale of a property within the Promenade
Precisely because the property is within the Promenade.
The second sale that fell through is the property in the hollow, abutting the erstwhile site of " The Browning " house , intended to be a Montessori school that never happened.
It includes the small apartment building known as Glen Aura.
S'right......Old,shabby, ripe for redevelopment.
Ain't gonna happen.
Mortgage Financing refused.
The town's much vaunted plan ....The Promenade..... that dictates how private property should or should not be developed ...........scuppered one deal and compelled another vendor to take back two mortgages to allow the sale to proceed.
The Promenade Study has always been, and will continue to be, a disaster. We saw how they tried to force a builder to go an extra storey up even though the soil would not support such a structure. Word about such nonsense gets out and possible companies just write Aurora off. No skin off their noses. Plenty of other towns will welcome them.

ReplyDeleteShould members of Aurora Council, both present and future, be required to have a real estate and appraiser's license as a prerequisite of their eligibility to seek public office?
ReplyDeleteThe Promenade Study dated 2010 was prepared by the same firm that prepared the Hillary Cost Benefit Study.
The only thing happening is that this firm is living off the blood of Aurora taxpayers.
Is it a new form of vampire?

ReplyDeleteThat's what Town's staff is for.

ReplyDeleteIn retrospect, the Hillary Cost Benefit Study would be interesting. Because while residents enjoy a visit there every so often & sometimes take visitors there, I
am more aware of how much money and labour has to go into it every year.
Do you attempt to verify any of the scuttlebutt that comes your way?

ReplyDeleteYou mean like your comments ?
I have never seen a source mentioned by you. Others at least try to attribute the site they are using.
You can plant all kinds of vegetation according the the Promenade Plan. It might be a good idea, though, to make sure that there was real business growth within the area first.

ReplyDeleteEvelyn has known how to network since before the word was introduced.
21:34, what does that have to do with establishing the possible veracity of rumours?

ReplyDeleteIn its most simplistic, it means that while E might get something wrong for a short period, her sources are generally trustworthy.
"...while E might get something wrong for a short period..."
ReplyDeleteThat's blasphemy, you heretic!
