Steve Adams has been a staunch supporter of closing the landfill on schedule, and for that he deserves major props. After Reg Rankin, it’s been Adams who has been most prominent in calling out the need to have proper solid waste processes and to respect the promises given to people who live near the landfill. Kudos to him.
That good work, however, is countered by an attempt by Adams to sneak in a last- minute change to the revision of the regional plan that would open up the Purcells Cove backlands to development. This land, mostly owned by Clayton Developments, is zoned as “urban reserve,” meaning that it can not be developed until 2031, at the earliest. The change Adams tried to make would rezone the land as “rural commuter,” and immediately allow it to be developed at low- to medium-density, in essence turning it all into sprawl. This is very bad, indeed.

Adams is in it for his next job. He either runs for the PC’s provincially/federally next time, or gets hired by a developer or right-wing business lobby group he’s been working for this whole time. Sad how predictable that is.
A well deserved D. This schmo is not a leader, as is evidenced by his inability to take Spryfield kicking and screaming out of its drive-thru status (people “drive through” on their way into Halifax to spend their money). This recent rezoning issue is icing on the cake. You people voted for him, so suck it.
very disappointed with Mr. Adams so far this term. Maybe he needs to live in the district he represents to gauge the pulse of the community.
“Spryfield Guy Until I Die”, so… RIP?
