An crucial step has been taken by Prince Edward County Council to allow the development of new affordable seniors housing in Bloomfield.
Last night (Wednesday) council approved a rezoning change for the former Pinecrest Memorial Elementary School property to allow the LoveSong Seniors Housing and Community Hub & Springale Developments project to get underway.
When complete, the development would include 50 self-contained apartments for seniors and a hub which would feature a wellness centre and medical services.
Construction on the $10 million project is expected to start in the fall of next year.
