The full interview with bonus material:
The demand for rental housing in Northumberland is apparent, as vacancy rates are barely one percent. So, it may be good news when a proposal to build four three-storey buildings in Colborne goes before the Social Services Committee next week.
The proposal will see 60 affordable apartments at 123 King Street, 38 more units than the 22 currently on-site.* The units will be a mix of rent-geared-to-income and market-value units. More importantly, it will be suitable for families and singles.
In this interview, two officials from Northumberland County will preview the proposal and explain how it fits into the community’s overall housing strategy and how the public can become involved.
