Have you noticed the price of houses in Clarenville. Prices are bumping into the stratosphere and this s taking a bigger bite out of every new buyer's budget. If you are of limited financial means this this means that buying a house is becoming next to impossible and renting is becoming a major challenge.
So what are we to do as a community?
That's the question that the Town has posed and has generally it has been answerd by saying that the the market dictates price and if the price is too high there is little that the Town can do.
A role for the Town?
The Town's municipal plan clearly spells out a role of the Town. Corner Brook has the workings of a potential model for Clarenville. That city provides non-profit organization's who are involved in developing affordable housing tax relief....if the Town of Clarenville sees a role for itself, this may be an idea worth pursuing here.
