Southgate Considers Increased Development Fees

Southgate is considering a new development charge which could raise the fee on a new home on municipal services from $7,300 to $10,000.

The public can comment on the proposed development charge up to and including at a public meeting at the next council meeting on April 15.

Solar farms have been added to the list of developments subject to a development charge in the proposed bylaw.

If approved, it will amount to $2.36 per sq ft of solar panel. Southgate has a 400-acre solar farm in the works.
