THUNDER BAY – The provincial government has assigned Thunder Bay an ambitious target for new housing builds, while moving one step closer to granting Mayor Ken Boshcoff and other heads of mid-sized cities “strong mayor powers.”
Thunder Bay's target ambitious Thunder Bay’s target is identified as 2,200 new housing starts by 2031.The municipal government reported Thunder Bay is on track for 521 new builds from 2024 to 2026 in an ambitious application to a federal housing accelerator fund, while suggesting there is room for more growth.
Only municipalities that achieve 80 per cent or more of their annual targets will be eligible to receive the funding, proportional to the number of housing starts realized. City manager Norm Gale, who was present at the AMO conference along with other municipal leaders, declined to comment on the newly-released target Monday via a brief statement provided to TBnewswatch.
In a release, the provincial government said mayors of the newly-added communities simply need to pledge, in writing, to meet its housing targets by Oct. 15 to receive the expanded powers.
