450 social housing units in the south-western half of the Province are being repaired and renovated thanks to a team effort from the Federal and Provincial Governments. Total contribution is $3.5 million and includes work on 18 areas including homes on Crown Street, Market Square, Stevenson Tower along with rural and native homes in Rothesay, Kingston, Hampton and Saint John. Social Development and Housing Minister Kelly Lamrock says this is all part of the long term initiative.
The work is expected to get started right away and includes electrical, plumbing, heating and energy improvements. An announcement related to the redevelopment plan for Crescent Valley will happen tomorrow morning at the Somerset Community Center.
