Future development always causes concern within a community. The two remaining large tracts for development in our community are the East Fonthill lands and the East Fenwick development area. The East Fonthill area is underway and developments are being serviced at this time. There are still several that need to come forward for approval and are at various stages of the process. Council needs to be mindful of the current community and the goals of the new development; not to undermine what we have but to add to it and to enhance it.

Standard and Poor’s Reaffirms Niagara Region’s “AA” Stable Credit Rating

Niagara Region continues to maintain its “AA” credit rating, with a stable outlook, according to an October 10, 2018 confirmation report released by credit rating agency Standard and Poor’s.  The report indicates that Niagara’s budgetary performance has improved and is expected to continue to benefit from a supportive institutional framework, prudent debt and liquidity management practices and from sound financial management.
