Many residents voice their concerns when a new subdivision in their community is proposed, but they don’t often speak up about what type of business development they want to see in their municipality.

As the Region of York updates its land use policies in its official plan determining how the region will grow, it is giving residents a chance to share their thoughts on what future employment lands will look like in their community.
