Verona Affordable Housing Project
The Verona Affordable Housing Project is a cornerstone initiative that exemplifies Frontenac's commitment to addressing critical housing needs and building complete, inclusive communities. Located in Verona, this project aims to provide much-needed affordable housing options, making it possible for more people to live and thrive in our County. It's more than just housing; it's about creating a vibrant neighbourhood where residents have access to essential services and a strong sense of belonging.
A fundamental aspect of enabling this significant development planning and establishment of robust water and wastewater services. For a project of this scale, relying on individual wells and septic systems was neither a viable nor a sustainable solution. Therefore, a strategic approach has been developed to ensure the long-term provision of these critical utilities.
A key part of this strategy for Verona involves the implementation of communal water and wastewater services. This modern approach allows for efficient, shared systems that can support the new housing units effectively, while also considering existing demands and future community growth in the area. This ensures that the essential infrastructure is tailored to the needs of the community.
The decision to utilize communal services in Verona reflects a commitment to both environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability. These consolidated systems provide enhanced environmental oversight and protection for our natural resources, particularly the vital Verona Watershed, compared to numerous individual private systems. It's an approach designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing service reliability.
The successful implementation of these communal services will pave the way for the physical construction of the necessary water and wastewater infrastructure for the affordable housing project. This infrastructure will provide foundational support for the new homes, giving future residents confidence in their essential services and contributing to the overall stability and well-being of the Verona community for decades to come.
This integrated approach to housing and infrastructure demonstrates Frontenac's dedication to responsible development. By proactively planning for and investing in communal servicing solutions, we ensure that new growth is sustainable, environmentally conscious, and directly contributes to a higher quality of life for all residents.
