Queen’s Park is sending $5.2-million to the City of Pickering, as a reward for meeting government housing targets. As well, officials say they issued more than 1,900 building permits. The money comes through the provincial government’s ‘Building Faster Fund,’ which has incentives for housing and community infrastructure. “Pickering is getting it done on housing and we are proud to reward them for their success,” said Premier Doug Ford in a release.
“I’m so proud of Mayor Kevin Ashe and his council colleagues for leading their progress toward their housing targets last year.” “Pickering will be one of Durham’s largest cities, we are steadfast in our commitment to creating a sustainable, interconnected, and flourishing community that offers a diverse array of housing choices for all residents,” said Mayor Kevin Ashe
