The Proposed Project

Fort Albany First Nation is proposing the construction and servicing of the Phase 1 of the 100-Lot Subidivision Project planned within the community to support the housing shortage. Phase 1 will include lot servicing to 32 lots of which the physical activities include tree clearing, construction of drainage systems, construction of gravel roadways, and service connections of water, sewer, and electricity to each lot. The site itself is approximately 16 hectares, and has been partially cleared of trees. The remainder 1.67 hectares of tree/ brush clearing is to be completed prior to construction to allow for topographic survey.
