Townhouse project greenlit
Vineland residents disgruntled By Tristan Marks NewsNow There were not many happy Vineland residents leaving Lincoln’s town hall on Monday after the Planning & Economic Development Committee approved a motion recommending hotly disputed zoning amendments. The amendments are for Solera Place, a proposed
townhouse project to be built between Azalea Crescent and Victoria Avenue in Vineland. This was done despite the misgivings and concerns of many residents who attended and voiced their opposition to the project. The development’s consultants, Better Neighbourhoods, presented a revised
