Speaking to a sold-out audience of business and community leaders from across Niagara, Regional Chair Jim Bradley delivered his State of the Region address on Wednesday. Bradley announced the creation of an Office of Attainable Housing, which will be focused on creating more housing in Niagara. He also announced the creation of the Office of Share Service, which has been given the mandate to find innovative ways to better share resources between the Region and the 12 local municipalities, and the return of “Niagara Week” at Queen’s Park. During the week of May 15 elected officials and senior staff will advocate for provincial support on a number of items. Bradley noted the resources required to make the initiatives a reality did not require any new staff or increase to the Region’s budget.
