Hamilton seeking input on plan to bring 80,000 people and jobs to Elfrida
(Stoney Creek News, Mike Pearson, Nov 2 2018)
The City of Hamilton is once again seeking public input on a contentious plan to bring 80,000 people and jobs to Elfrida.
The Elfrida growth area study covers roughly 1,250 hectares of mostly rural land, south and east of the corner of Rymal Road East and Upper Centennial Parkway.
Hamilton is holding a series of public meetings this month to discuss future communities, including Elfrida, which could be transformed into a community the size of Peterborough over the next three decades.
Elfrida has been identified as the preferred site for growth that cannot be accommodated within Hamilton’s current urban area.
