A new sign has gone up on Villa Madonna Road for something called “Rothesay Legacy Village, Villa Madonna Road” but so far, there appears to be very little public information available about what the project actually is.

The sign is located on the Villa Madonna property in Rothesay, a large site owned by the Diocese of Saint John that has long operated as a retreat and community space.

If you have information, documents, or have attended meetings related to this project, please post in comments.

Here is a paragraph from May 2025 council meetings, it looks like a senior housing project was approved for this site and this is part of the infrastructure funding to move it forward.

"The scope of work in the tender also included the installation of water, sanitary, storm and sidewalk along

Villa Drive as part of the Legacy :
Village seniors housing development project.

This work was bid
separately from the work listed above. The work will only proceed if federal funding is received through
the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) and the balance of the project cost is covered by Saint John
Not-For-Profit as the Owner representative for Legacy Village."

After the election, I decided to keep this page going but with a new focus.

Welcome to Mike Black Local Spotlight.

This page will now focus on highlighting local businesses, entrepreneurs, community events, and positive stories from Rothesay and the surrounding area.

There are so many great people building businesses, creating jobs, supporting charities, and helping our communities grow and they deserve recognition.

I’m excited to continue connecting with the community and supporting local in a new way.

If you own a business, are launching something new, hosting an event, or know someone doing great things locally, send me a message.

One of the great upcoming business I did not get a chance to share was Redefined Plus. Check them out here and have a look at this short clip with owner Nicole.

No matter how this election goes, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, to have conversations with me, to share kind words, encouragement, advice, and support throughout this entire experience. The support has truly meant the world to me and I’ll never take it for granted.

Putting yourself out there is not always easy, but getting the opportunity to connect with so many incredible people in this community has been something I’ll always be grateful for.

Rothesay is a special place because of the people in it, and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to be part of this race. ❤️

Stopped by Social Cycle this week and it’s easy to see why so many people love it here. It’s more than just a workout, it’s a community. The energy, the encouragement, and the people inside these walls are helping make the valley a healthier and more connected place to live.

Local businesses like this play such a big role in shaping the culture of our town and they deserve to be celebrated.

Thanks for having me in 👏

Why Rothesay and why town council you may ask? This place truly is special. The people, the businesses, all the hard work your council has done already.

Let's keep on building on the momentum. VOTE MIKE!!
