Residents of Brighton’s lakeshore Gosport neighbourhood plan to fight a proposal to build 32 condominium units in eight multi-storey buildings near a provincially significant wetland.
Over 200 people, mostly from Gosport, attended a recent Brighton council planning meeting to voice their objections to the plan.
Residents believe the condo construction will harm wildlife living in and near the wetlands and ruin what they believe are culturally significant Indigenous artifacts at the site on Elgin Street.
The Gosport Residents Association says it will appeal an approval of the project by Brighton Council to the Ontario Land Tribunal and have set up a Gofundme page to finance an appeal.
Council could decide the issue February 13.
