Burlington Council tried to prevent Golf Course to housing construction

Rachel Murphy is appalled that a housing development is being considered at Millcroft Golf Club.

“It's quite saddening to even have to be here at all. As a young person in the community, I'm appalled that this development is even being considered. It's so important now more than ever to preserve any green space that we can.

Following numerous presentations by community members, Burlington council unanimously agreed Tuesday to ask the province to declare a provincial interest in Millcroft Greens.

Last December, council unanimously declared its opposition to the proposed residential development of the Millcroft Golf Club.

At that meeting, Mayor Marianne Meed Ward was directed to work with Ward 6 councillor Angelo Bentivegna and the Deputy Mayor for housing Shawna Stolte to bring a resolution to Burlington City Council and Regional Council seeking provincial interest be declared.
