Condos beats chocolate in library development proposal
After all the applications and offers had been received, it was then down to the interviews before a winner was declared – the Atkins Group with their $5 million bid was chosen above all others as the future owner of the Haydon Burns Library.
Atkins’ two other rivals, Main Branch LLC and Peterbrooke Chocolatier were said to be extremely disappointed things didn’t swing their way.
Now the Haydon Burns Library will be turned into condos, retail center, movie theatre and restaurant instead of the chocolate-related buildings Peterbrooke had proposed.
