Morrow responds to derelict property critics
Stories printed in a local publication, has one mayoral candidate wondering if it’s been a slow news week.
Josh Morrow was the subject of a recent Prince Albert Daily Herald article alleging the businessman not only owned derelict properties, but thumbed his nose at city process. The Herald purported Morrow was told by bylaw to clean-up the properties but didn’t, and failed to appear at a hearing to discuss his case.
For his part, Morrow said he’s not “evading” anything or anyone – language used in the Herald article. The Prince Albert mayoral candidate said attempts to smear him and his campaign are much ado about nothing.
Morrow explained plans for the 700 block of 12th St. W., plus 849 17th St. W. have been in the works nearly eight years. His long-term plan was to buy-up the entire block, tear down derelict homes on the above properties and erect something better.
