The most recent proposal in the Abercrombie Road area didn’t even get as far as a public hearing, as the owners of the land withdrew the offer to sell following threats and harassment.  Mayor Dicks says there’s a real possibility that if a location can’t be decided on soon, the province may decide to build elsewhere, which would be a blow to New Glasgow.
