Current Projects
PLEDCO Housing Study: Jans Bay is partnering with the Primrose Lake Economic Development Corporation to determine future housing needs for the community. This housing study is currently underway as research is being conducted to determine what is available within the community, and based on population growth, how these needs will be changing in the future. With the enhancement of economic development within the region, it is anticipated that additional mixed-housing types will be needed to accommodate and growing, and changing population.
