Just a saw this story in RENX, which Collingwood is has endorsed as an MZO request.
Its for a 130 acre development, which would contain 2,200 midrise and lowrise residential units, and 1.6Mft2 medical/office/research space.
More details after the link:
renx.ca
The proposal includes some pretty sizable carrots for the community.......30 acres donated, in part, for a new campus for the Collingwood Hospital.
5.5km of recreational trails, which the proponent hopes to link up to the existing regional trail system.
A further 19 acres set aside for nature, including as bird sanctuary.
There is a suggestion..........of 'attainable workforce housing'....
And a commitment to no big box retail, along with a possible Regional Transportation Hub.
I'm undecided on how much credibility this deserves...........but it's certainly substantial, and interesting.
