The owner of three fitness centres in the Halifax Regional Municipality says her plans for a fourth location are being swallowed up in red tape.
Connie McInnes operates Rstudios and is now leasing a property on Kempt Road in Halifax and has plans to turn it into a spin studio. But getting a permit to move forward with her expansion is proving to be difficult. We ve been on a halt for the last two months waiting on our construction permit, said McInnes.
