The Township of North Huron and the Municipality of Morris-Turnberry have adopted a revised Cross Border Servicing Policy for the extension of water and sewer services across North Huron borders.
North Huron Council approved the policy at last week's meeting, and it's been endorsed by Morris-Turnberry.
Updates to the policy include more support for North Huron Recreation and cemetary grants, and a framework for future servicing agreements between North Huron and neighbouring municipalities.
The Township says the primary goal is to improve industrial and commercial development, job creation and growth in the area.
North Huron Reeve Neil Vincent is pleased with the progress that has been made, stating, "With a workable servicing policy now in place, we will be better positioned to attract development to the area. We feel that Morris-Turnberry’s increased support for our recreation facilities expands upon our existing successful shared service arrangements. We look forward to continuing our discussions and building on a positive working relationship that will help our communities to grow and prosper."
Morris-Turnberry Mayor Paul Gowing stateed, "The Cross Border service agreement reached by North Huron and Morris-Turnberry is the first step towards both municipalities reaching their true development potential".
