Wawa Seeking Public Input on Draft Housing Action Plan

The Municipality of Wawa's looking for public input on a proposed plan to address housing needs in the community.

Economic Development Assistant Jessie Labonte explains the draft Wawa Housing Action Plan presented to Council last Tuesday was written to tackle the issue, which was identified as a priority in Wawa's Strategic Plan.

Labonte says the plan includes five specific goals and strategies to achieve them, including updating the Housing Needs and Demands Study for more up-to-date data.

Labonte notes the plan also recommends developing a plan to service residential property - including Municipality-owned property on Tamarack Road and Algoma Street - and a "brownfield incentives program".

The draft plan's available on the municipal website or at Town Hall, where comments can be dropped off for Labonte - they can also be emailed - by 4 pm Friday, September 8th.
