Work on the site of Chatham-Kent’s new tiny cabin homeless shelter development is set to begin.
Council recently awarded a $1,085,420 contract to Henry Heyink Construction to prepare the site and install services for the 50-unit complex aimed at providing transitional housing.
The development is located on a vacant Hyslop Street lot, north of the Pet and Wildlife Rescue building on Park Ave East in Chatham. The property is owned by the municipality.
C-K communications co-ordinator Eric Labadie said locates are underway and trees are expected to come down this week.
Chatham-Kent expects to spend $4.3 million on capital costs for the project.
