City of Hamilton to start tear down in disputed north-end housing project

The City of Hamilton is set to begin tearing down a housing project today in the city’s north end, 10 years after it started removing the people who lived in the affordable housing complex. The city plans to build inclusive, mixed-income housing at the former site of the Jamesville Neighbourhood House on James Street North. Construction crews and a duty officer showed up bright and early to clear the site out, and began tearing down the former housing project. The site was formerly home to over 90 affordable units, but has sat unused for nearly a decade. Work has been planned for years, but setback after setback have left the project in limbo. The most recent hiccup was a result of opposition from CN Rail, who took to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) with an appeal in 2022, citing concerns over the operations from its nearby shunting yard. Earlier this year, the city asked the province to step in with a ministerial zoning order, a move that could potentially overrule the OLT and allow for work to begin.
