The Planning and Development Executive Committee made the recommendation to council to approve the request submitted by Newfort Developments to delay their development project in town and have their deposit returned to them.
Newfort Developments had an intention to construct an 18-unit apartment complex in the Town of Fort Frances on 814 Scott St. starting this year.
However, with about a 25 per cent increase in building costs and previous border restrictions from Ontario to Manitoba, George Friesen, president of Newfort Developments, wrote a letter to the Fort Frances council asking to have their deposit returned back to the company.
