Proposed Havelock long-term care facility needs new developer
Township council that the province had cancelled its development agreement with AON Inc. for the facility on Old Norwood Road.
The property itself is fully serviced and ready to go for construction, but development of the facility hasn’t started. Smith noted that residents and their families have a better quality of life if they can age in their community close to their family members. “Havelock offered the property to AON for $2, so there was basically no cost there. There were no development fees. The province gave Havelock about $7.5 million to upgrade the road and bring services in. Peterborough Housing Corporation started construction on their affordable housing beside where the long-term care facility will be,” Smith said.
“Unfortunately, with everything that’s happening, we were hoping it would be built by now,” Martin said.
