Overview

The Railway Lands offer the potential to provide affordable, medium density housing in a convenient location that is a short walk to the Uptown (commercial core). Increasing the diversity of housing is a priority in the 2019-2022 Council Strategic Plan, and the Town encourages a spectrum of housing choices and prices, from multi-family to single-family and secondary suites, from rural houses to village lofts, live/work accommodation, and from affordable to luxury.
