A city of 40,000 people next to Stelco? That is ludicrous. The roads, electrical, sanitary and water supply systems in Haldimand and Norfolk Counties, are not currently able to handle that size of population influx. If you want to see a similar, failed, planned community, you only need to look as far as Townsend. The housing and planning was done poorly, the project never got off the ground. The new planned city, in a designated commercial sector of our county will not improve the counties involved. The jobs to support that many people are not available So who is going to buy a house there? In my opinion, a flat, emphatic NO, is the only real answer to this proposal. Any money spent by the developer is his loss and no part of this loss should be subsidized by the taxpayers of Ontario. You throw the dice, you take your chances.
