    Corner Brook has a historic low vacancy rate but the Mayor believes development is headed in the right direction. At Monday night’s council meeting, a new 6-unit apartment building was approved for 101 Country Road. Mayor Jim Parsons says there are some big projects on the go, such as the former Western Star, Presentation school and Herald Tower.
