Description:
The RAMA Benson Affordable Housing Modular Project, located in Orillia, Ontario, is a significant development initiative. This project involves the construction of two 2-storey residential buildings on the land of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. These buildings will be constructed using wood-framed modulars, a type of prefabricated construction. The modulars will be manufactured offsite, which offers benefits in terms of construction timelines. Once completed, these buildings will provide multi-family community housing. The project is part of a larger effort to address the affordable housing crisis. The site is strategically located on Benson Road, one of the roads recently transferred to the First Nation.
