The Council of the Township of Scugog has passed Development Charges By-law 16-24 on April 29, according to a notice issued by the township clerk.
It said the development charges are imposed against development and redevelopment to pay for capital costs for the following services: Library Services, Fire Services, Parks and Recreation, Services Related to a Highway: Public Works: Buildings and Fleet, Bylaw Enforcement and Court Services, Development Related Studies*, and Township Engineering (includes: Services related to a Highway and Storm Water Drainage and Control Services).
