Greater Sudbury mayor tells Sudbury.com he will continue to collaborate with council instead of using 'strong mayor' powers offered to him and other Ontario mayors by the provincial government
Rather than pursue 'strong mayor' powers afforded to him by the province, Mayor Paul Lefebvre said he’ll continue working with his colleagues on city council to achieve housing goals.
Lefebvre said there’s a shared belief among the city’s elected officials that there is a “housing crisis” in Greater Sudbury. “Transitional housing to traditional bungalows, we need more.” There are various efforts taking place at Tom Davies Square to see to it that more housing gets built, Lefebvre said, both at the forefront of city council operations and in the background.
Last week, Lefebvre tabled a successful motion for city staff to develop a tax incentive program to help spur the construction of multi-unit residential buildings in strategic core areas of the city.
