"Grandview Condominium Owner"
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Town of Huntsville has received a letter from the owners of the Grandview
Resort property concerned that the Grandview condominiums may not be
being used in accordance with the Town of Huntsville Zoning By-Law. This has
reduced the potential viability of reopening the resort on the property.
I would like to host a meeting with all affected parties to determine a suitable
solution to this issue.
I think I speak for the majority of the residents of Huntsville in saying that we
would like to see Grandview return to the great resort and hotel that it has
been in the past.
As a condominium unit owner, this issue affects you greatly and I encourage
you and/or your representative to attend the meeting to provide your input
and ensure that you are fully informed of the issues.
I look forward to receiving your input on getting Grandview back to its
former status.
The meeting details are as follows:
Location:
Algonquin Theatre
Huntsville Civic Centre
37 Main Street E., Huntsville
Date:
Saturday, February 1, 2014
Time:
10:00 am
