County residents asked for input on Municipal Housing Strategy

Jeff Green | Nov 04, 2010

The County of Frontenac wishes to invite community members to our second phase public consultations on the Municipal Housing Strategy currently under joint development by the City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac.

The Municipal Housing Strategy is being developed in three phases to help guide future housing programs, policies, and initiatives in the region. Once in place, the Strategy will implement minimum targets for the provision of affordable housing.

First phase public consultations took place in early October of 2010 and compiled community perspectives on regional housing needs and issues. During second phase public consultations, officials will share their findings from the first phase public consultations and discuss strategies for overcoming identified obstacles. Based on your input, the Municipal Housing Strategy will present community-based solutions to address specific housing challenges raised during public consultations.

Second phase public consultations have been scheduled in Sharbot Lake and Kingston for November 18 at:

Oso Community Hall, Sharbot Lake, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. , and

Portsmouth Olympic Harbour (Sail Room), Kingston, 7 to 9 p.m.

People interested in attending should contact Hollis Amey by November 15. She can be reached at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 613-546-2695, extension 4973.
