It takes a good person to make sure everything happens when it comes to planning. Grant Munday used to be the Manager of Planning for Wainfleet Township, and at the time of recording he was Manager of Development Approvals for the City of Welland. If you've ever wondered how cities decide what goes where and why, this is the episode for you.
What we covered
- Wainfleet up close. Grant has driven every road in the township and been to just about every corner of it, including the farms and the Wainfleet Bog.
- How planning works. Zoning, development approvals, and how new housing gets approved.
- Measuring progress. Is success the number of new units, or something else?
- Affordable housing. What "affordable" even means, and why it's tied to income and financing.
- Tools for homeowners. Where to look up zoning information, including online mapping tools like Niagara Navigator.
Buyers, sellers, investors and anyone thinking about building should give this a listen. Thanks, Grant.
