The rezoning of four Town-owned lots located at 56 Tooker Street, 37 Argyle Street, 22 Chester Street, and 4 Bond Street

The new zoning allows for a maximum of 4 to 6 units, as shown in the table below. For more information about the rezoning, visit the project web page at: https://getinvolvedyarmouth.ca/surplus-lands
