KENBRIDGE – Dundas resident Wayne Parrish addressed the Kenbridge Town Council last week about a project that was originally discussed in 2008. The idea is to build an apartment complex in the Kenbridge area that would be designed with the idea of being a “seniors” location.

Mr. Parrish said that the complex would be built on land in the area between Kenbridge Construction Company and the Kenbridge Emergency Squad. He also noted that the intention of a project such as this is to fill a gap and help keep people out of nursing homes.

The grounds and apartment complex would be designed and built so that older residents would have easier access in and around the area.

He continued, saying that the project had been discussed in prior council meetings during past years, but the recession hit and caused him to put this project off. Mr. Parrish said that the final decision on who will be involved as far as officials and investors was still being looked at, but the town would first need to approve the idea and check into the zoning in the area.

Kenbridge officials set a November 17, 2015 date to hold a joint public hearing with the Planning Commission in order to look at this proposal further. The public hearing is set to begin at 6:45 p.m.
