Harbourview Funeral Centre creating a parking lot

The Harbourview Funeral Centre wants to build a parking lot for its facility.  The City of Thunder Bay rezoned the property at 179 MacDougall Street from light industrial to highway commercial.  Owner Chris Lent says they plan to make changes to the property to allow for proper water drainage.  The City is currently in the process of selling the land. Most City councillors were in favour of the rezoning application, but Joe Virdiramo wanted it written into the legislation that the property could be used as a parking lot only and not a Methadone clinic.
