For months members of Cornwall’s Wa- terfront Development Committee have bristled at the suggestion they wanted to see condominiums built on city owned land just east of the civic com- plex. Even as recent as Thursday evening’s reg- ularly scheduled waterfront committee meeting, they complained that the public has someone been misled or misinformed on the hot button issue.
