The Mayor gave his State of the City address today. He had the following to say about Wards Corner:
In Wards Corner, our development department continues in active discussions with major property owners in the heart of the business district. Subject to an improvement in the retail sector, new development opportunities are expected to be identified later this year. City council is mindful that more needs to be done in Wards Corner. We know and share the frustration with the pace of activity. There is great potential in Wards Corner, and we are determined to see the effort through to completion.
