An empty lot on the corner of St- Jean-Baptiste St and Castelbeau St has been approved for residential development. In a regular meeting on September 20, Russell Township council passed a zoning bylaw amendment to allow for the development of a vacant property on the corner of St-Jean-Baptiste St and Castelbeau St. The amendment, put forth by a representative of the property owners and recommended by the Planning Advisory Committee, will allow for three townhouses to be constructed on the property.

The mayor was happy with the announce- ment, and said he’d like to see commercial development to complement the residential. With a new watermain to bring water in from the Clarence-Rockland system, the commu- nity is ripe for expansion.
