They better start emptying their wallets. I don't know where these people think the money would come from to save this thing...certainly not the region/city's coffers.
So, they have a concept:
Quote:"But on the one side could be a seniors' residence and it could have independent living, assisted living, and respite," said Scott-Booth. "And on the other side, we're wanting to propose a mental health wellness centre where it could provide all sorts of resources and programs for our community and for the region."
She said the original hotel could then be a go-between that could be used by both, restore the springs and adding space for a gym, art therapy, music therapy, yoga, etc. She said the upper three floors could be turned into condos.
"So, you would buy a condominium and your parking would be behind Fountain Street," Scott-Booth said. "And then all the buildings, the seniors' centre and the wellness centre would be able to utilize the resources in the hotel and then it would also be for the residents who live in the hotel as well."
Do they have a developer that wants to do it, to buy the property from the current owner, repair the imminent structural issues, and then start this multi-modal project? Because, if not, then it's just a pipe dream.
