This is absolutely the case, just as the terminal building, which has also become completely useless. It was built through a land lease granted to Aéroports de Montréal. It has been demolished in particular to reduce its maintenance costs and stop paying municipal taxes.
Some of the restrictions related to the easement have thus become unnecessary, but continue to prevent development. We are being deprived of property tax revenues and the land cannot be used, which we find unfair and inequitable. If the easement was used today as it was meant to be, we could understand its value. However, today, it really serves no purpose.
We must move on and try to improve. It is important to understand that Sainte-Scholastique was once the town's business centre. Doctors, notaries and great professionals had offices there. However, today, it is no longer the case. We would really like to revive those good old days by revitalizing the area.
