New provincial order could make building affordable housing in Carleton Place a tad easier

You could call it a welcome piece of news for affordable housing efforts in Carleton Place.

Councillor Wes Parsons told council he has contacted Queen’s Park to see if a provincial minister’s order might permit more inclusionary zoning in town.

He was more than happy to explain how it works.

Councillors unanimously passed the motion to direct staff to contact Queen’s Park to start work on an order application.
