Should busineses who purchase city owned property be compelled to develop the land within a certain time period?

This week at city hall, council looked at whether they should require businesses who purchase city property to develop it within a certain time period.

The Director of Business Development, Marty Salberg recommended against creating such a policy saying that it would hurt investment in the city.

A statement echoed by that five of the six councillors, Councillor John Wall being the only councillor to find merit with the idea of a deadline.

Council agreed to receive and file the report.
