Won't you be my neighbour?

Across the street from 702 is the Weslyan Church. The congregation is moving to the former co-op grocery store in Jacksonville, and next Monday night, Woodstock Town Council will begin voting on the rezoning. It takes three readings to approve the rezoning, which will allow a developer to tear down the front part of the church and replace it with vinyl aparments.

Neighbourhood residents are opposed - they are asking for support at the Council meeting next Monday at 7pm. Please come and show your support, even if you're from out of town. We need to speak up on these issues or there will be no historic buildings left. More to come on our parking issues in a few weeks.
