Lakeshore and Birches developmentPlanning for a potential new subdivision on Lakeshore Drive is the major item on tonight’s council agenda.

During the committee meeting Council will see a report looking into this proposal.

Mayor Al McDonald says this is the result of all the infrastructure work they have done in that area over the last few years.

He was asked if this means they are seeing more people ready to move into North Bay.

McDonald says they recognize right now there is a downswing – but they want to get ahead in the process so the infrastructure is in place to accommodate more housing for the future.

The Mayor says with the infrastructure work out of the way, developers can start building homes as needed.
