the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hills WEDNESDAY MAY A Division Newspapers Lmiilui 103 Mam SI South Georgetown Ontario Publisher I JOHNSTON I We cant wait On behalf of the many many people who are anxiously awaiting the start of construe of the apartment buildings in hopes of finally finding an available rental unit in Halton Hills we urge town council to use its full weight in opposing suggestions emanating from the region and the Ontario Municipal Board that could hold the project up by over months The region has hinted loudly that it will not issue bulling permits for major projects in Georgetown until the addition to the sewage treatment plant is completed in December of barring any strikes or other holdups What an utterly ridiculous and unnecessary roadblock to put in front of projects that are desperately needed in Halton Hills now The need is already critical What a 16 month delay would do to it is frightening to consider It not as if the project is a new one that needs study The proposal has been slowly slugging through the necessary red tape to the point that it is now approved by almost all departments and bodies involved Having struggled to this point you don turn around and hold the project up any longer Now s the time you work together to get it completed as quickly as possible As any developer will tell you apartments are not the best in vestmtnt for a businessman to put his money into these days We re for to have at least one businessman willing to take the big gamble and go ahead with an apart project that will be very torn patible with the general downtown atmosphere How long Bill willing to sit and watch regional staff and the province kick his development around only he knows but we test his patience Lay it on the line that he can start construction if and when he wants to but be very in making sure he realizes that he will be taking a chance that Ins apartment building may have to remain vacant for some time before the sewage treatment plant expansion is completed The if and when will then be up to him but at least the town has done its best towards helping those people some of whom have had their names on waiting lists at the few apartment buildings town for well over a year desperately in need of accomodations obtain some hope for the future Without that hope they begin looking elsewhere which will be Halton
