As rents and new home prices come down across B.C. we are working on reducing costs so we can continue to see new housing supply.
Last week we announced deferral of Development Cost Charges for new homes.
This week B.C. Hydro stepping up to lower costs and expedite new connections.🙌🏾
Big move from the Province:
✔️ 25% of fees at building permit
✔️ 75% deferred until occupancy or 4 yrs
✔️ Surety bonds accepted
This is a smart step that reflects what industry has been asking for.
@udibc
is at the table and will keep pushing for practical solutions.
