COUNCIL DOOR CLOSED TO HOUSING COMANY

The Town Of Bridgewater doesn't like to mix business with council.


Town council has refused to provide promotional and community support to one Nova Scotia company.

"BFree Homes" is a consultation service that helps homeowners get the most out of energy audits by recommending what improvements should be made.

Mayor Carroll Publicover moved to have the Engineering and Sustainability departments take a look at their proposal.

He was outvoted in council "6-1".

"Just because a company makes that is can't do also a vital community role. What I understood from them is that they were going help facilitate groups of citizens who need energy upgrades in their homes and helping by means of volume purchasing get better quality and quantity," says Publicover.

Councillors voted at last night's regular monthly meeting.
