Lands owed by Magnier and McManus remain unzoned for housing as councillors approve Finnstown rezoning

Local councillors have approved the rezoning of lands at Finnstown for housing development. The decision follows a broader review of regional land use, though the outcome excludes specific properties held by prominent investors John Magnier and JP McManus, which remain unzoned for residential purposes.

The exclusion of the Magnier and McManus holdings from the rezoning plan highlights the selective nature of the local authority's development strategy. By focusing on the Finnstown site while maintaining the current status of other significant land parcels, the council has established a specific trajectory for housing expansion in the area.
