CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 24, 2015) - On Tuesday, August 25, the Fraser Institute will release its first ever survey of homebuilders in the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor.
New Homes and Red Tape: Residential Land-Use Regulation in Alberta's Calgary-Edmonton Corridor compares and ranks jurisdictions in the Calgary-Edmonton corridor on several categories of red tape (construction approval times, density opposition, timeline uncertainty, regulatory costs and fees, rezoning prevalence and the effect council and community groups have on development) based on the experiences and opinions of industry professionals.
With long-term housing affordability continuing to be a concern for many Albertans, this survey is part of a broader effort to understand the effects of land-use regulation on Canadian housing markets.
A news release with additional information will be issued via Marketwired on August 25 at 5:30 a.m. (Mountain).
