<p>A construction crane currently set up behind 131 Main Street in Sackville might just remain part of the town’s skyline a bit longer, if zoning changes go through to make way for a new project involving local developer John Lafford.</p>
<p>Lafford and his partner Mike Wilson, CEO of the AIL Group of Companies, are hoping to build a seven storey building at the corner of York Street and Ford Lane. But the site is in Sackville’s mixed use zone, which only allows for buildings of up to 50 feet, or roughly five storeys.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1280" height="765" src="https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM-1280x765.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-51757" srcset="https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM-1280x765.jpg 1280w, https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM-600x358.jpg 600w, https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM-768x459.jpg 768w, https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM-1536x918.jpg 1536w, https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM-1320x789.jpg 1320w, https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screen-Shot-2024-09-25-at-10.28.18-AM.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A rendering of a proposed seven storey building for the corner of York and Ford Lane.  Detail from Plan 360 report to Tantramar council. </figcaption></figure>
<p>That’s why Lafford has applied to Plan 360 for a change to the zoning bylaw, expanding the allowable height for the mixed use zone to 75 feet. Planner Lori Bickford presented the request to Tantramar council at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday. Council will decided whether or not to proceed with the request on October 8.</p>
<p>CHMA caught up with Lafford after the presentation to hear more about his plans:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://chmafm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/John-Lafford-Sep-23-2024-edit.mp3"></audio></figure>
<p>“We’re hoping to be able to build a seven storey building that would have some commercial activity in the ground floor, and then there would be six stories above with residents,” says Lafford. He predicts about 95 units in the building, with “a mix of larger, down-sizer units on the corners, and then there&#8217;ll be some smaller units, more affordable, on the interior of the building.”&#8230; <a href="https://chmafm.com/increased-height-allowance-requested-to-allow-for-new-7-story-building-in-downtown-sackville/" class="read-more">Continue </a></p>

<p>Lafford and his partner Mike Wilson, CEO of the AIL Group of Companies, are hoping to build a seven storey building at the corner of York Street and Ford Lane. But the site is in Sackville’s mixed use zone, which only allows for buildings of up to 50 feet, or roughly five storeys.</p>

Detail from Plan 360 report to Tantramar council. </figcaption></figure>



<p>That’s why Lafford has applied to Plan 360 for a change to the zoning bylaw, expanding the allowable height for the mixed use zone to 75 feet. Planner Lori Bickford presented the request to Tantramar council at their committee of the whole meeting on Monday. Council will decided whether or not to proceed with the request on October 8.</p>



<p>CHMA caught up with Lafford after the presentation to hear more about his plans:</p>

<p>On today&#8217;s show, we talk with Jonelle Mace, the new executive director of Dorchester’s Moving Forward Cooperative.  Last month, Mace took the helm of the community co-op which operates a community fridge, commercial kitchen and food centre, and trail network in Dorchester.  Mace says she&#8217;s ready to continue the co-op&#8217;s mission to advocate for food sovereignty in New Brunswick. </p>
<p>Mace gets an official welcome to the community at an open invitation meet and greet tonight at Station 8.  &#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to meeting some new faces and seeing and hearing some opinions from people who this co-op serves, and who serve it as well,&#8221; says Mace.</p>
<p>Plus in news briefs, Greens talk heritage and the Wheaton Covered Bridge at campaign event, and Tantramar Regional High School asks Instagram to disable an account targetting students. &#8230; <a href="https://chmafm.com/new-director-of-moving-forward-co-op-ready-to-hear-from-dorchester-community-at-meet-and-greet-tonight/" class="read-more">Continue </a></p>

Image: mta.ca</figcaption></figure>
<p>New Brunswick’s municipalities have been asking for changes to the system by which they fund themselves for years, and now a report by a Mount Allison economist is helping them make their case.</p>
<p>In <em><a href="https://umnb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/UMNB2024-Fiscal-Report-Final-EN-Internal.pdf">Toward a New Fiscal Framework for New Brunswick Municipalities</a></em>, Dr. Craig Brett outlines the financial issues facing local governments, and recommends a diversified income for municipalities through an allocation of 1% of the provincial HST.</p>
<p>Brett stopped by CHMA to explain his research and conclusions. You can listen to the full interview here:</p>

<p>“The need for municipal financial reform is in response to things that happened slowly,” says Brett. “It’s one of these things that&#8217;s not a problem, not a problem, still not a problem… and all of a sudden it is a problem. Even though it&#8217;s the same trends that are going on.”</p>
<p>Brett says there are two big trends that have led the province and its municipalities to this point. “Number one is that the the share of money that municipalities get from the province by way of grants has gone down considerably,” says Brett.</p>
<p>In the 1980s, municipalities got about 40% of their funding from the province, says Brett. Then by the turn of the millennium, that was down to 16-17%, and now municipalities get just 5-6% of their funding from unconditional provincial grants.&#8230; <a href="https://chmafm.com/mt-a-economist-recommends-1-hst-for-municipalities-to-fix-funding-shortfalls-reliance-on-residential-taxes/" class="read-more">Continue </a></p>
