The City of Mount Pearl is a little smaller but a little richer after council voted to sell a piece of land to a developer during this week’s public meeting.
“City staff met with the developer, Emerald Atlantic, on July 6, 2022, to discuss the sale of a portion of city land and associated memorandum of understanding (MOU),” said councillor Mark Rice. “A preliminary development concept plan was discussed as well.”
The Planning, Engineering and Development committee recommended moving forward with the sale of the land, which is sits just behind the Team Gushue Sports Complex ballfield near Emberley Place, in the amount of $46,000. As part fo the sale agreement, the City will sign an MOU with the developer, and the developer is required in turn to submit a formal development application for review as part of the MOU.
The motion passed unanimously with no further discussion.
Neither the exact dimensions of the land, nor the developer’s intent, were discussed.
