Does The North End Still Beckon For The "Y"?

The YM-YWCA is still looking north despite turning thumbs down on the old Zellers store in Lansdowne Plaza as being too expensive to tear down and rebuild. 

What is being called an important community announcement will be made this morning about the "Y" by Saint John North M-L-A and provincial cabinet minister Trevor Holder along with Social Development Minister Sue Stultz.

Holder tells CHSJ News there has been an ongoing effort to revitalise both Crescent Valley and the old north end and he believes it's only a matter of time before it starts to pay off. 

Holder also tells us the proximity of the north end to the uptown core of the city will, over time, attract private investment.
