Two Rutland housing projects under consideration

A developer wants to build a 94-unit student housing project at the corner of Dougall Road N. and McIntosh Road.

Council gave the proposal first reading Monday and it has been forwarded to a public hearing at a later date.

The other project council is considering involves a multi-housing proposal on Rutland Road N. And Wallace Road.
