City Council approves a further $5.52-Million in DC relief amid construction slowdown, hoping to stimulate new housing.

A black-and-white technical planning map from the City of Hamilton’s Planning and Economic Development Department titled "Special Figure: 1494 Upper Wellington Street." The map shows a large property parcel bounded by Stone Church Road East to the north and Upper Wellington Street to the east. Different hatched patterns indicate various "Maximum Height" zones across the site: a large western section is capped at 22 metres; a northeast corner section (Area B) is capped at 40 metres; and transition zones are marked at 28 metres, 12.5 metres, and 10.5 metres. The map includes detailed minimum setbacks and stepbacks ranging from 2 to 23 metres. Neighboring residential streets Cielo Court and Sorrento Place are visible to the west and south.
