The future of a hotly debated old hotel building is up for discussion Friday evening.
The Calgary Drop-In Centre purchased the old Quality Inn building on Edmonton Trail with the intent of turning it into an assisted living facility.
However, the community, and some on city council have opposed the plan with the province also recently pulling a $5-million grant saying the project’s plans don’t meet the grant’s conditions.
The Thorncliffe Greenview Community Association recently held a three day brainstorming session to create a new vision for the property that could include affordable housing or assisted living options.
They will present the ideas and ask for feedback starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community Association building.
