‘The City of Waterloo believes in the country side line’
The City of Waterloo is standing by the region’s smart growth plan that keeps new development within a countryside line as almost every other municipality in the region jumped at the chance to open about 7,000 acres of new lands to developers.
Wellesley Township is the only other municipality in the region to turn down the Ford government’s offer to expand their boundaries. Township Mayor Joe Nowak said the rural municipality of about 11,000 people does not have the infrastructure to support more housing right now.
