A new fire station is coming to downtown Kitchener that will combine a 19-storey apartment building with over 200 housing units.
City council approved plans for the development on June 29 before council took its break for the summer. The city says the project, located along King Street near Madison Avenue, will “bring more housing options and enhanced emergency services to the community.”
“This project represents a major step forward in building a complete community in Kitchener,” said Mayor Berry Vrbanovic in a release Monday [July 6].
“Tackling the housing crisis and supporting a growing city requires all orders of government and community partners to work together. By bringing essential emergency services and much-needed housing together in one location, we’re delivering smart, innovative solutions that will benefit residents today and for years to come.”
