Developer Withdraws Request for Noise Waiver

Earlier on Wednesday, the city announced that SJP Properties will not be asking for special permission to be able to do construction on Saturdays.

"The resolution requesting a construction noise waiver for SJP Properties has been pulled from tonight's agenda at the request of SJP. The resolution will NOT be heard at tonight's meeting," stated the city's Facebook page.

The waiver was proposed late last month to the chagrin of local residents.

Under construction isn't allowed on Saturdays. SJP Properties, however, has asked the city for a waiver, in order to do construction work on Saturdays at the Waterfront Corporate Center III, a new development at Second and River Streets.
