A 900-unit development near Cataraqui Cemetery sparks concerns over heritage preservation. Kingston’s planning committee reviews the proposal Thursday night.
This article discusses the conflict between Kingston's urgent need for housing and the potential negative impact of a proposed 900-unit development on the historic Cataraqui Cemetery.
The main conceptual idea is the difficult balance between addressing pressing social needs (housing) and preserving cultural heritage.
While the city recognizes the need for more housing, cemetery officials and community members argue that the proposed development would negatively impact the cemetery's tranquility and financial stability. They propose modifications to the development to lessen its impact, highlighting the need for compromise and thoughtful planning that considers both needs.
