Sarnia理事会否认1880年代一座教堂的遗产地位,修复费用超过30M美元,优先进行住房再开发。 Sarnia council denied heritage status to an 1880s church over $30M restoration costs, prioritizing housing redevelopment.

Sarnia市议会拒绝为1880年代的一座教堂指定遗产,指出预计修复费用为3 000万美元,并担心将重新发展计划改造成住宅和托儿所。 Sarnia city council has rejected heritage designation for an 1880s-era church, citing a projected $30 million restoration cost and concerns that designation could derail a redevelopment plan into residential and daycare spaces. 业主Anthony Mota说,他缺乏资金,无法达到完全的保全标准,并警告说,如果被指认,出售给Heikal集团会失败。 The owner, Anthony Mota, said he lacks funds to meet full preservation standards and warned the sale to the Heikal Group could fail if designated. 理事会承认该大楼的历史价值,但最后的指定可能会导致状况恶化。 Council acknowledged the building’s historical value but concluded designation might lead to deterioration. 由于Sarnia将面临2027年1月1日前就指定事宜采取行动的省级最后期限,因此一致作出的决定平衡了对遗产的关切和紧急住房需求。 The decision, made unanimously, balances heritage concerns with urgent housing needs, as Sarnia faces a provincial deadline to act on designations by January 1, 2027.
