From the Muskoka Community Land Trust:
Downtown Bracebridge needs affordable housing that stays within the community, enhances its sustainability and walkability, and contributes to local economic development
Led by our Bracebridge Steering Committee, we are preparing a submission to the Town of Bracebridge’s January 2025 RFP for redevelopment of the former Memorial Arena site and adjacent lands.
We envision a mixed market/affordable housing development with commercial space on the ground floor suitable for organizations serving the community to lease, as outlined in the 2021 Downtown Bracebridge Master Plan.
Core to this vision is our desire to build community wealth, where assets are permanently owned and governed by the community, ensuring that local needs are prioritized.

This is an admirable proposal to repurpose this particular plot of land, by providing affordable housing. Not a hand-out, but a hand up. More of this, please.
