Input Deadline for Draft Wawa Housing Action Plan

Time's up for those who want a say on Wawa's Housing Action Plan.

Designed to tackle the issue of housing in the community - which was identified as a priority in Wawa's Strategic Plan - the draft plan was released last month, an Economic Development Assistant Jessie Labonte says it 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 today.
