A new housing strategy is in the works for the City of Dauphin.
The city is exploring conducting a professional study to provide an assessment of the community’s needs.
Deputy City Manager Renee St-Goddard says they are still in the early stages.
“It’s more from an economic development standpoint. Our Economic Development Manager is having lots of inquiries from developers asking if there’s a need, looking to invest in building in Dauphin. However, we’re not able to provide them with updated information.”
The city’s last housing study was completed in 2009.
“The Economic Development Manager is going to be reaching out to a company to do this study so we can provide more updated information.”
St-Goddard says the suggestion came up at a management meeting and it would be beneficial for the community to have this information.
