Stakeholder Group 1: Municipal Representatives
Two Potential Benefits
Economic growth for the municipality
New development can bring jobs, new businesses, and increased tax revenue to support local services like roads, schools, and emergency services.
Improved local infrastructure
Developers often invest in roads, utilities, parks, and public facilities, which can raise the overall quality of life in the community.
Two Major Concerns or Risks:
Pressure on municipal services:
Rapid development may strain water supply, waste systems, transportation networks, and public safety services.
Loss of community character:
Large-scale projects may change the look and feel of neighbourhoods, increase traffic, and reduce public green space.
One Balanced Alternative:
Require phased development with mandatory environmental mitigation
This ensures growth happens gradually while maintaining natural areas, improving stormwater systems, and reducing impacts on local ecosystems
