New Tecumseth is growing quickly. What does "smart growth" mean to you in pract…

Smart growth means being selective in where the growth occurs and taking a reasonable, balanced approach to planning. Alliston is unique insofar as it is partly, residential, agricultural and commercial. We must balance all these interests and not just open it up to urban sprawl. We must learn for our neighbours to the south. It means securing and protecting our green spaces and building neighbourhoods whereby everyone can enjoy and we must be able to provide affordable housing for everyone i.e homeowners and tenants alike. We must do so in a manner consistent with keeping taxes and costs within reasonable limits and not overburden the taxpayer.

Thanks
