Developer Mario Cortellucci is still interested in developing a heritage subdivision in Innisfil, a spokesperson says.
While Cortellucci was disappointed to see the McConkey home demolished, he is still wants to help preserve Innisfil’s heritage, Terry Geddes said.
“He was very upset by it,” Geddes said. “He has a great love of heritage and would be interested in a heritage subdivision.”
There are some heritage homes on land the Cortellucci development group owns in Innisfil.
Geddes said Cortellucci was willing to help pay for the relocation of the McConkey home to one of his properties. However, some studies, including an engineering study, would have to be done first.
The Cortellucci group had hoped council would register the house at Wednesday’s council meeting, creating time to move the house, Geddes said.
“Everyone we dealt with, including the Mayor and Deputy Mayor had very good intentions,” he said. “When we heard about the demolition, I had just come out of a meeting to plan where the house may go.”
