The horse racing folks are campaigning to take control of NBEX board in an attempt to keep a race track in downtown #Fredericton and putting at risk the redevelopment plans for this property. +
If this group “seize” the race track, it means the loss of 800 to 1,200 dwelling units that includes affordable housing with mixed-income housing accessible to low income residents and the development of 1.1-million sqft. #Fredericton +
Fredericton has an acute need for housing that is affordable to a diverse range of people including seniors, students, newcomers and low income & vulnerable population.
Vacancy is historically low (1%) and homelessness / sleeping rough is increasing. #Fredericton +
If you feel the redevelopment should move ahead as it is in the best interest of our community, become a member of the NBEX by December 30 and let your voice be heard: nbextheevent.com/shop#Fredericton /end
