Folks in Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove will have to wait a little longer to see if council will approve an application for a microbrewery at the site of the former Roman Catholic Church on Cribbies Road.
Council was set to vote on the application during the November 4 public meeting, but opted to defer the vote until November 18 as a final inspection of the building is required.
Council was initially set to vote on the motion on September 9, but a number of delays pushed the vote to November 4.
Over 100 residents have signed a petition against the proposed microbrewery, citing concerns about increased traffic and a lack of adequate parking, amongst others.
Four councillors were accused of potentially being in a conflict of interest, but all four have been cleared to vote following an investigation by JW Consulting.
