THUNDER BAY – A proposed extension of city services to support a new subdivision off of Arthur Street West drew hard questions from city councillors on Monday.
Councillors worried the development, which could involve hundreds of homes, would follow a pattern of previous subdivisions that have cost the city more for municipal services than they generate in tax revenue.
Tyler Rizzuto, a planner with Stantec Consulting, outlined a vision Monday for a new development on behalf of developers Louis and Norm Nadin, owners of local Nadin Contracting Ltd.
They hope to eventually secure approval for a new subdivision with around 350 lots, just east of Maplewood Estates off of Mapleward Road, which they also developed.
