The provincial government approved a Ministers Zoning Order (MZO) to build a one-million-square-foot warehouse in Blair, but the residents are still fighting against it.
CAMBRIDGE Protestors are hoping Cambridge council will change their mind on a proposed warehouse. In April, they voted unanimously to endorse a Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) for a one-million square foot building at Dickie Settlement Road and Fountain Street. Residents who live in the area were frustrated with that decision, and have been vocal in their opposition. On Thursday, some of them gathered at the site of the former Preston Springs Hotel to protest the project. They say they’re upset with the lack of public consultation before council approved the MZO. According to the developer Broccolini, the warehouse would employ up to 1,400 people and would pump 150 million in investments into Cambridge.
