Okotoks adds $1.3M to D’Arcy project
The Town of Okotoks is amending its 2023 capital budget to provide more financial support for an affordable housing project.
The Brenda Strafford Foundation’s (BSF) Heart Home Network and Westwinds Communities launched the D’Arcy Affordable Housing Project in partnership with the Town in 2021 and since then, costs have increased substantially.
“There has been cost escalations related to site servicing that are higher than what was anticipated by the partners when these projects commenced,” planner Michelle Grenwich told council this week. “Initially, the site servicing costs were estimated to be $1 million for the partners. Now that is approaching $2.3 million, so that’s an additional $1.3 million of unanticipated expenses.”
“H” is for Housing
