The Hamilton Community Land Trust is on track to get its first piece of property thanks to a gift from the city.
The city acquired the land at 278 Wilson St. in the Lansdale neighbourhood after a home on the property was destroyed in a fire more than 15 years ago. It was declared surplus in 2008.
After a series of meetings between the HCLT and Ward 3 Coun. Matthew Green, the parcel was identified as the perfect spot for “affordable ownership townhomes.”
Green put forward a motion to donate it to the organization during Tuesday’s planning committee meeting.
