The owner of The Manse, a music venue in Marshfield, P.E.I., says he’s been ordered to seek a zoning change for his property from residential to commercial — and he worries other home-based businesses may face a similar fate.
The Manse, originally built for and used by a Presbyterian church minister, made its debut as a music venue in January 2019.
Tim Archer, who owns The Manse and lives on site with his partner, says a staff member with the Department of Housing, Land and Communities told him last week he couldn’t keep running the venue the way he has been.
