O'Connor said seeing the idea he had in the early 2000s being expanded on in 2023 is a great feeling.Affordable Housing Funding:$3.8 million to Stephen Jamael Property Rentals Inc., Sydney for 36 units$1.2 million to Tata Holdings Inc., Tatamagouche for 21 units$680,000 to Six Point Star Homes Ltd., Amherst for eight units$350,000 to S.W.H.
