Madawaska Valley Council Approves Rezoning for Coyote's New Production Facility

Madawaska Valley Township council has unanimously approved a zoning change that will allow us to expand our operations by erecting a covered facility to build our log homes.  Currently, log home construction at our Barry's Bay location is done outside, rain or shine. The new sheltered facility will allow us to build more quickly and effectively in poor weather, especially during the winter months.

Council's approval came following a public meeting on Tuesday, October 21 about the amendment, which rezones 3.36 hectares of land at the Coyote Log Homes site from "Highway Commercial" to "Highway Commercial - Exception Eight".

Mayor John Hildebrandt supported the zoning request, stating that Coyote Log Homes is an integral part of the community and is "something we need in the area" due to the amount of jobs and business it brings to the region.

"We need long-term, stable growth and jobs in this area," said Councillor Shelley Maika. "I wish him all the luck."
