Affordable housing will be springing up in the spot of the former Park Fitness Club in north end Brantford.
Updating an earlier blog issue, a 39-unit, four-storey building will be put up on the site on Park Road North. Developer Counsel Corp. will get $2.7 million to help build the one building, but hopes to get more help next year to build a second one.
You may remember that I mocked neighbourhood opposition to the concept of building affordable housing on the property. Some residents said they feared increased crime.
It’s good to see that nonsense didn’t carry the day and cooler heads saw the wisdom of affordable housing on the site.
