Rising construction costs could mean changes to a 100-unit apartment complex in Quispamsis.
Town council approved the Elmtree Hill Development complex on Hampton Road back in July.
But citing “current market conditions, neighbourhood appeal and affordability purposes,” the developers are seeking changes to the original developer’s agreement with the town.
According to Dwight Colbourne, the town’s municipal planning officer, the construction industry has faced “significant challenges” since the agreement was signed from securing resources and materials to enormous price increases in wood-based building materials.
