Creemore apartment project deadline extended

Wendy Schellenberg said a deadline to purchase a Francis Street property eyed for seniors’ apartments has been extended.

“We have a couple of irons in the fire,” she said, adding that some people have come forward with offers to invest and several avenues are being explored.

Shellenberg is among those working to build 14-16 rental units for seniors that would be owned by a not-for-profit organization.

She said they now know the enthusiasm is there but it will take time to bring the project to fruition.

“The Gordons have generously extended the deadline until July 6,” said Schellenberg. She said it is the preferred location but it’s not the only possibility.

“In my heart, I know it is going to happen somewhere.”

Anyone interested in offering financial contributions, expertise and volunteer services is welcome to call Schellenberg at 705-466-5221.
