Mayor Jim Parsons says staff will review comments and the watershed committee will meet again prior to council making a decision.
Corner Brook city hall received a “substantial” amount of comments from residents concerning an application by Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, or CBPP. The company wants to harvest timber and construct a road in the city’s protected water supply zone. At this week’s public meeting, Councillor Bill Griffin says a public notice was issued early last month to give an opportunity for feedback. Councillor Charles Pender clarified who makes up the watershed committee and what stakeholders are involved. Mayor Jim Parsons says staff will review comments and the watershed committee will meet again prior to council making a decision. The proposed zone for harvesting is the Eastern Lake & Corner Brook Lake vicinity.
