OLT Approves Supportive Housing Project on George Street in Sarnia
What happened
The Ontario Land Tribunal allowed an appeal by Indwell regarding a proposed five-storey supportive housing building on George Street in Sarnia. The tribunal ordered that the appeal be allowed and that variances to the city’s zoning bylaw be granted, provided there is an agreement for reduced parking spaces. The county donated land next to the Sarnia ambulance station for the project.

Why it matters
