Charlottetown residents will soon have their say on 1,700 housing units proposed for the city across three separate projects.
Charlottetown’s Deputy Mayor Alanna Jankov said she can’t recall the city sending this much development to public consultation at one time.
“One development alone is potentially 1,200 to 1,400 residential dwellings of different varieties and styles,” Jankov said.
Council voted unanimously on Tuesday night to send all three projects to public consultation.
P.E.I.’s provincial government is proposing low- and high-density development in a 34-hectare parcel of land it owns in the Hillsborough Park area of Charlottetown through the P.E.I. Housing Corporation.
The plan includes a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, duplexes and apartment buildings and would bring between 1,211 to 1,476 housing units to the area over the next five years or so.
