Minden Hills is getting $2.4 million in provincial funding to put towards a housing development on Hwy. 35, just south of the legion.
Mayor Bob Carter, during his mayor’s report to the Jan. 30 council meeting, said that on Jan. 27, the Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton Housing Corporation (KLHHC) learned it had received $3.2 million in total for two housing projects.
Carter said one is in Kawartha Lakes, but the other $2.4 million is for the Minden project.
He said the money was “very, very welcome. The housing corporation is in the process of getting new bids for that building, so there’ll be more news coming forward.”
The province has yet to issue a media release. The corporation has not issued a release pending the province doing so.
“That $2.4 million has me very excited that we will actually be breaking ground on this project this year,” Carter said.
