Lakeshore and Birches developmentAn 81-lot subdivision is shovel ready says Chair of Community Services Mark King.

He was speaking at last night’s (Monday) committee council meeting and says the proposal for Lakeshore Drive and Birches Road does not need sewer and water services installed as it’s already done.

He says 81-lots would provide a lot of local builders some steady work. King says in the last two years they have built 29 housing units, so the 81-lot development will bring in at least two years of local work.

He says this shows there is lots of building property waiting to be developed on in North Bay.
