Fredericton council voted Monday night to take the expropriation process for the Exhibition Grounds to court as both sides have been unable to reach a payment deal.
The city owns the property but has been leasing part of it to Fredericton Exhibition Limited, known as N.B. Ex., through 2031. But after going forward with plans to redevelop the property, the city completed the expropriation of the leasehold interest of the grounds in May, which gave the city full control over the property.
The city has since sold a 4.9-hectare parcel of the property to the province for $7.7 million for a new middle school on the site.
