Affordable Housing & Transportation

A Previous Project Team of the Citizens' Implementation Committee

 

Purpose

This team no longer meets but its work was valuable and influential. It is the hope that Ontario County will continue the work of this team.

Project Status January 2022

The Town Board approved the creation of a project team in 2020 to identify ways to improve options for affordable housing in the Town of Canandaigua.

The Town Board confirmed those same five priorities for 2022 via Town Board Resolution in December 2021. Accordingly, the team's focus is defined as follows:
