The City's Affordable Housing Strategy, outlines a commitment to identify city-owned vacant land for potential redevelopment as affordable housing.
Four parcels of land have been expropriated and identified for potential redevelopment as affordable housing to date. These include 245 Forest Road, 80-90 Empire Avenue, 375 Waterford Bridge Road, and 28 Eric Street. A project is already planned for 28 Eric Street. There are currently no planned projects for the other three sites. Council has not approved developing these sites. They have only approved doing engagement about the potential redevelopment of these sites. We would like to engage with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders about these parcels of land.
