The Town is in receipt of Official Plan Amendment Application (OPA24-A14) and Zoning By-law Amendment Application (Z18/24), submitted by GWD Planners on behalf of 2353662 Ontario Limited.

The purpose of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA24-A14 and the proposed implementing by-law is to establish an Area Specific Policy for the subject lands to permit retail uses.
