Chapter 586 You Are Really Something
Norman Simpson, a manager at the company, projected the plan of Old Town and the demolition and relocation plan laid out by the government.
Eva’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that her house was within the area. That feeling was like hitting the jackpot, and a huge amount of reward would be within reach.
Their family was anxious to sell their house to settle the problem caused by Kevin. Who would have expected such a windfall all of a sudden?
If the area was demolished, they would be allocated three units of property for relocation purposes.
Tobias looked at the huge area of old residences and sunk into deep thoughts. In fact, that piece of land had fallen into his hands many years ago, but there had never been any development plan initiated for it.
Currently, the construction of G60 Carlos Bridge and the biggest duty-free store in Aploth under Ford Group was about to commence around the area.
The construction would start from the old residential area. Hence, relocation of the residents and demolition was imminent. Initially, he had thought that he could bypass that area. But right then, it didn’t really seem realistic.
Eva listened very attentively as they discussed the matter, and her lips couldn’t help but curl up in excitement.
Tobias asked, “Is there any way we can circumvent Harbourside and leave that area out, keeping it intact without demolishing it?”
Norman had never considered that before, but then Tobias had pointed out the residential area in particular.
“Hmm, that’s quite challenging. If we leave Harbourside out alone, it would form a ring-shaped construction area, with our commercial area encircling the old residential buildings as its core. Well… the impact would be really huge.”
The smile on Eva’s face disappeared. She didn’t understand why Tobias wanted to bypass Harbourside. Desperately, she chimed in, “Mr. Ford, I’m living in Harbourside, and all my neighbors around have a strong urge to relocate. I don’t think there’s a need to keep that area.”
Tobias shot Eva a look. He knew all too well the plan was brewing in her mind.
Ignoring Eva altogether, he insisted, “Draw up a new plan and try as best as you can to avoid Harbourside. Don’t worry about the construction yet.”
