Hastings County has thrown its support behind a “rent-geared-to-income” housing project in Bancroft.
The Town of Bancroft has been working on the project that will include library space on the main level and the creation of 28 Rent Geared to Income units for seniors.
It would be located on municipally owned property, known as the North Hastings Inspiration Place.
Bancroft is working on a Rapid Housing Initiative application for the housing.
At its meeting on Wednesday, County Council voted to support the application.
If the Town of Bancroft is awarded funding under the RHI application, that a long-term agreement between the Town of Bancroft and the County of Hastings be negotiated and discussed at a future meeting of Committee and Council regarding the operation of the building.
