In our Spring 2022 edition we featured 18 developments which filled the two pages we were able to devote to the focus. Henry Wiercinski of the ARA correctly pointed out another twelve projects at various stages of planning and execution. He was kind enough to provide these updates and these are current as of May 2022.
This brings to a total of 30 significant developments within the Gleaner’s coverage area which is transforming the landscape and increasing population density. Given that almost none of the developments include an affordable housing component there will also be a socio-economic impact.
The Planning and Development Committee of the ARA is deeply engaged in consultations on many of these projects. The committee meets regularly on the first Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in participating, please send a message with subject line “Planning” to info@theara.org.
