Medicine Hat plans to move ahead with housing supply plans despite federal funding denial
Medicine Hat is moving ahead with plans to help boost local housing supply despite getting denied funding from a federal housing program, a top city official said Tuesday.
A series of nine initiatives the city proposed when it applied to the Housing Accelerator Fund in 2023 can still come to fruition, development and infrastructure managing director Patrick Bohan told CHAT News.
“Of the nine, we had things like improving the process for getting new development and building permits issued, so we’re going to try to tackle that anyway,” Bohan said.
