ATWOOD AND THE NORTH PERTH MASTER GROWTH PLAN

I have now read and digested the over 100 page Master Growth Plan for North Perth and it fully explains to me the Official Plan Amendments to not only to the North Perth Official Plan but also for Perth County. Perth County initiated the Official Plan Amendments but they are based on the Master Growth Plan. I the beginning of the Plan it states that North Perth has an over abundance of certain lands, commercial, industrial and residential. By the end of the Plan they have managed to make the 20 year plan by getting rid of everyone elses commercial, residential and industrial developement. In a nut shell all development that is allowed to take place in North Perth will be directed to Listowel and no where else. It fully explained to me why most of the commercial district of Atwood had disapeared in the new map for the amendments to the Official Plan. All commercial properties that the Municpality of North Perth could get rid of they did. The Gas Station in Atwood is now going to be zoned residential. More in the next post about how irate I am about that. But again Listowel is the supposed king and to hell with Atwood. If you thought Atwood was able to now expand and become a thriving community, guess again. Listowel will not let it happen and is trying everything it can to do that..........................SHAME
