Montreal’s Griffintown residents upset over plans for student housing tower
Description
January 15, 2024
A group of Griffintown residents and workers are concerned about a new non-profit student housing project planned for the area. Anger is growing over what they see as a lack of consultation. They also fear the project will affect quality of life in the area. As Global’s Phil Carpenter reports, there is a petition to save a long-time business that will have to close with little warning.
