I just learned about the development info session, too late to attend. I was mostly curious about OneRoof; and not happy if they were being closed out.

I emailed One Roof and got a quite rapid reply from their CEO, who has the following to say:

"Thank you for being one of the neighbors that likes having us in the neighborhood! That means a lot. I actually just left the meeting and currently we do not have a place to move to, nor has the development company purchased us. They purchased the two buildings beside us and are attempting to negotiate with us for the purchase of our building. It was a bit misleading for them to include our address on the invitation to the meeting. However they did articulate at the meeting that their plan includes purchasing our building but that the ball is in our court in terms of finding a suitable place to relocate to. If no suitable place is found then we're not going anywhere. It was a fairly well attended meeting with some good questions being asked and some support for our agency in the room which was very heartwarming. Thank you again for your support of us and if there are any future consultative meetings I'll be sure to let you know."

So, that's good news as far as I'm concerned, because OneRoof serves a critical role downtown.
