Midhurst Mega Development Open House

For those both opposed to or in support the Mega Development of up to 10,000 homes in Midhurst, put this on your calendar. All residents in Springwater Township should attend this as it is the beginning of the end for our rural way of living.



COMMUNITY INFORMATION EVENING
 
Wednesday, October 23rd
Simcoe County Museum
1151 Highway 26, Minesing
6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
The Midhurst Landowners Group invite you to a Community Information Evening.
We are the landowners – Geranium Corporation and RoseAlliance, on whose properties part of the future of Midhurst will be built.
We want to ensure that Midhurst grows in the best interests of those already here and in the best interests of those families and businesses yet to come. We are dedicated to preserving what’s best about Midhurst.
Come out and see the draft plans of subdivision and zoning by-laws, which implement the approved Midhurst Secondary Plan (OPA 38). Ask questions. Get answers.
Come hear about:
• Community design principles guiding the plans, including sustainability and smart growth.
• Planned parks, trails, and schools.
• Plans to protect the natural environment and water quality.
• Housing to meet the needs of all ages.
• New jobs to be created in construction and building supply industries.
• New revenues and development charges to reduce the tax burden on existing households.
• Expanded tax based to fund schools and parks.
The evening will include a short presentation on community design vision and philosophy followed by an open house format, which will provide an opportunity for one-on-one discussions.
All Welcome.
