'We have a whole generation, our youth, who believe they will never be able to own a home, and most would see that as being borderline tragic'
The municipality held a special council meeting recently to discuss the topic and ultimately adopted the concept of providing discounted municipal lot sales and a property tax rebate program to energize sales.
“And to message to those folks that believe that they'll never own a home that not only can they and will they own a home here in Cochrane or even along the Highway 11 corridor, they'll also be able to raise their family in what we're considering to be the greatest way of life and the best backyard in the planet. So, the premise behind this is home inventory,” he said.
“Now we need to define the program, right? So, what is it? What's the criteria? What are the qualifications? What's the program? How's it going to unfold? How are we going to treat developers versus individuals and that type of thing, and how are we going to make sure that the local municipality here are part of that?”
