Common Council has passed an amendment to allow the development of Irving Oil’s headquarters on Long Wharf as apart of a new waterfront district. The International Longshoreman’s Association Business Agent Pat Riley says he takes issue with that because the size of the site hasn’t even been determined yet.
Riley says the city shouldn’t accept the size of the footprint of the proposed Long Wharf development because the value of the Lantic Sugar site hasn’t been determined yet, and if the value of that site is diminished than Irving Oil’s proposed headquarters site should also shrink. Council’s approval will also allow mixed development in a designated waterfront district.
