Business on Mt.Pleasant Rd. will be in for a bit of a disruption when it is finally decided what will be done with the Newbigging Funeral Home property at 733 Mt. Pleasant. The funeral home site has been purchased by a developer. Word from Josh Matlow (Ward 22) is that the buyer specializes in retail-oriented development. He reports that the new owners have met with him, the South Eglinton Ratepayers (SERRA) and the Mt. Pleasant Village BIA to consult on the future use of the site. There is no application in to City Planning at this time, says Matlow, but he anticipates a mixed-use proposal with retail on the ground level and mid rise residential above. The community will be consulted once an application is submitted. Humphrey and Newbigging funeral homes to merge
