Scott Avenue housing proposal: public comments close today

The Town is seeking feedback on a potential multiunit residential development on vacant land between Mill Road and Carmelite Road. The published design is illustrative; no final project approval is established.

WHY IT MATTERS
This is a real chance to shape how existing serviced land becomes homes, while weighing neighbourhood character, access and long-term infrastructure costs.

Today in GFW is a community-first experiment in making local information easier to find and understand. It combines verified public notices and reporting with events compiled from the Exploits Events Registry, which draws heavily from the local community events group.

Town decisions are reported factually. Community listings are attributed and may change. We aim to make it easier for people to show up, get involved and make informed decisions. We are independently published and are not operated by or affiliated with the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor.
