FALL RIVER: A virtual public hearing is scheduled for next Monday to allow the community have input on amendment to a project that many have been following closely.
On her councillor Facebook page, Cathy Deagle Gammon posted a blurb about the upcoming public hearing, scheduled for March 8 at 7 p.m.
It is being held to discuss an amendment to see one of the approved buildings in the Carr Farm development become a 100-bed long term care home, operated by Northwood.
The application for the amendment is by Vision 7 Developments on behalf of the property owner to amend the Land Use By-law for River- lakes to allow a Nursing Home (Long Term Care Facility) use in the RLRC zone applied to Site B (former Carr Farm) on Fall River Road, across from Mason’s store.
All oral and written submissions will be considered at that time. This meeting will occur in a virtual setting, as attending in person is not possible.
