Tuesday, September 14^th, 2021

5:30 p.m.

Video Conference

The By-Law, upon approval, will establish the level of development charges levied on new construction within Township boundaries.  The Development Charges program is intended to ease the burden of development, allowing the municipality to prosper and grow, without requiring its existing taxpayers to contribute 100% to the capital cost of growth.

This By-Law will also consider an additional, specific area Development Charge for the Maberly Pines Subdivision. The purpose of this charge would be to allow the Township to complete the development and assumption of the roads in this subdivision so that the roads become municipally owned and maintained.

Your participation at this meeting is welcome and encouraged.  Copies of the Background Study and proposed By-Law will be available by August 30^th, 2021 at the Municipal Office and on the Township website at https://www.tayvalleytwp.ca/en/living-here/building-applications.aspx.

DATED at Tay Valley Township this 11^th day of August 2021.
