THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF MARKHAM

---

Ms. Barb Cribbett, Treasurer delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding Growth Management Strategy – Overview and Approach to Financial Analysis and Fiscal Planning. 

There was discussion regarding various intensification scenarios.  The Committee suggested that staff also consider higher intensification scenario, such as 100%. 

The Committee discussed infrastructure and other soft services and enquired how these issues are factored into this study.  Staff advised that there are many background studies (eg. Community Capacity Review) related to the growth management strategy that will come together and assist in the development of the new Official Plan.  The Committee stressed the importance of the Province providing significant sustainable infrastructure and social service funding, primarily in the areas of transit and housing that will support the implementation of the growth management strategy.  The growth management strategy also needs to clearly articulate the respective responsibility of the Province and the Town of Markham.
