The City of Peterborough is creating five new affordable housing units through renovations to two City owned properties on Clonsilla and Sherbrooke, originally slated for demolition. The problem was that the city had a budget covering less than half of the estimated cost. In true Peterborough fashion, the local building community stepped up to complete the project. Serving as Construction Managers, Mortlock Construction rallied more than 30 local contractors and suppliers resulting in an incredible volunteer effort and donated time and materials. The Clonsilla house is now completed and the Sherbrooke house is underway, and the savings are estimated at $260,000. This project is a shining example of what it means to be part of a community; one that supports itself and each other. #lovelocalptbo
