The disposal of federal property for housing and migrant shelters.

 NCC looks to revive controversial Rochester Field development through land bank by Catherine Morrison, Ottawa Citizen, November 22, 2024. "The federal government has added the site at 529 Richmond Rd. to the Canada Public Land Bank." The site is next to Maplelawn.

Threats to the Greenbelt: One of the stated purposes of the land, "to meet government facility needs", is a questionable concept. It implies that the Greenbelt is a land bank for the feds...A barn on agricultural lands is compatible, but a high tech park is not. Facilities that are currently there should not be torn down, but don't put any more up. (From: Greenbelt Master Plan, December 2009, page 52/107.) Note: Unattractive temporary shelters will be constructed on the Greenbelt--- on the Eagleson Park and Ride; the Nepean Sportsplex; behind the Confederation Education Centre and possibly 3311 Woodroffe.
