'Important issues’

Dear Editor:

RE: Pearle Hospitality will receive tax grant from township for Elora South development, July 29.

Centre Wellington council approved the Tax Increment Equivalent Grant by a vote of 5-2 for Pearle’s Elora South development.

Pearle recently withdrew their plans. How can council approve a grant for a development when we don’t even know what the final plans will be?

Councillor Ian MacRae commented that he hears the citizens concerns and would like to see the bridge connecting the Mill and Elora South “done away with” (cancelled) so we don’t loose the view of the Tooth of Time.

Councillor MacRae also said that the proposed building heights should be reconsidered.

Those are two extremely important issues and I support the councillor’s position on both.
