Help Shape the Next Phase of Employment Lands

in Halton Hills

The Town is undertaking a secondary plan for ‘Employ Halton Hills – Phase 2B Employment Area Integrated Planning Project’. This area is known as the Premier Gateway and comprises approximately 257 hectares of land north of Steeles Avenue, between Eighth Line and Winston Churchill Blvd.

We’d like to thank everyone for the feedback provided on the two land use options for EmployHH. Your input, coupled with the technical work, has helped shape the direction of the draft Preferred Land Use Plan.

We’re now looking for your feedback on the draft plan. Visit the project page on Let’s Talk Halton Hills and take the survey.

The team will incorporate the survey results and present the final draft and accompanying draft land use policies at an Open House scheduled for early 2023.
