In an effort to build more affordable housing in the region, staff will look to regionally owned parking lots, vacant buildings and lands that can be re-purposed. It was a motion brought forward by Coun. Pam Wolf.
The City of Kitchener will explore the idea of building housing over parking lots. Coun. Dave Schnider introduced the motion Monday night, which passed unanimously. The idea originally introduced at Cambridge council in December but it did not pass.
