IF YOU LOVE STRATFORD: About Me

IT'S ABOUT COMMUNITY

Walmart disrespects our plan for balanced growth and is building in the east end of the city by taking advantage of a planning loop hole. The East end will become increasingly sprawled.

History:

The citizens of Stratford overwhelmingly supported Official Plan Amendment 10 (OPA 10) which re-directs future commercial growth that can't be accommodated in the downtown core to the west end of the city where future residential growth will develop on the annexed lands. The Stratford City Council passed and approved version of OPA 10 which was appealed by Avonwood to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Stratford won the OMB appeal and OPA10 became official. The OMB decided against Stratford by making the city and not Walmart who forced the appeal, responsible for the city's legal fees.

Local wisdom should be the prime authority; it should be respected and enacted.
