A series of buildings in downtown Fort Langley that have been boarded up for years could be turned into a mix of residential and commercial space.

Council voted Monday to delay the demolition of 11 buildings once owned by Eric Woodward’s Statewood Properties and have been sitting boarded up since 2017.

A Township of Langley councillor has threatened possible legal action against a local businesswoman who has criticized his ties to several Fort Langley properties that are awaiting approval to be demolished.
