Further to the correspondence received for the Development Charge Study Public Meeting on March 8, 2021, the Town of Whitby will be providing written responses to the questions and issues raised in the upcoming weeks.

Please note, new information is now available relating to the costing of the Brooklin Roads related projects; the Brooklin North Major Roads Environmental Assessment has now been released for the 60 day public review period.
