We, the undersigned residents and supporters of Prince Edward County, hereby express our strong support for the proposal to utilize unused harbors, marinas, and other municipal assets to facilitate Short-Term Accommodation (STA) activity in our community IN THE FORM OF HOUSEBOAT HOTELS. This initiative aims to address the essential need for accommodations in the booming tourism industry while ensuring the maintenance of reasonable local real estate prices and a sustainable cost of living.

Petition Statement:

We believe that leveraging unused municipal assets for STA activity will contribute positively to Prince Edward County's economy, tourism sector, and community well-being. By repurposing existing harbors and marinas, we can meet the growing demand for accommodations without compromising the local housing market. This approach aligns with the principles of sustainability, economic growth, and responsible community development.

Petition Objectives:

1. Addressing Accommodation Shortages: Utilizing unused municipal assets will provide a practical solution to the shortage of accommodations in Prince Edward County, benefiting both residents and visitors.

2. Maintaining Local Real Estate Prices: By directing tourism-related activities to underutilized spaces, we aim to mitigate the impact on local real estate prices, ensuring that housing remains affordable for residents.

3. Preserving a Sustainable Cost of Living: This initiative seeks to strike a balance between tourism development and preserving a reasonable cost of living for our community members.

Petition Signatories:

We, the undersigned, support the initiative to repurpose unused harbors, marinas, and other municipal assets for Short-Term Accommodation (STA) activity in Prince Edward County. We believe that this approach will contribute to the growth and sustainability of our community.
