The South End Sustainable Communities Group is responding to a report by Vibrant Communities Saint John and the Working Group of Business Community Anti-Poverty Initiatives concerning Tannery Court. The report states the project does not meet the Canada’s best practices because it is putting a low income apartment building in an area that is already impoverished. Spokes-person Howard LiBillois tells CHSJ News, it’s his groups mission to inform people of the problems surrounding Tannery Court.
LiBillois says putting a 50 unit low income apartment complex in a priority neighborhood is irresponsible and consolidating the city’s poorest in one neighborhood.
