Media Advisory - The Building Industry and Land Development Association Kicks-Off its 2018 Municipal Election Campaign in Vaughan

VAUGHAN, ON, June 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Housing is a key issue of the 2018 municipal election. Providing housing for the next generation is a challenge that needs to be solved in a partnership between residents, the building industry and municipal governments across the GTA.

The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) will kick-off its 2018 Municipal Election Campaign and will put forward some ideas to improve the housing supply problem and affordability of new homes by working with investment-ready cities like Vaughan to ensure that the right infrastructure is in place, modernize outdated bylaws, cut red tape and ensure that shovel ready land is in place.

The City of Vaughan is a clear example of an investment-ready city. Investment-ready cities like Vaughan are designated areas where municipal leaders, the building industry, retailers and small business owners work together to create complete "live, work and play" communities.

BILD wants other municipalities to be investment-ready like the City of Vaughan.

When: June 18, 2018 ? 9:00 a.m.             
Where: Vaughan City Hall ? Main Floor
Who: Speakers include:
