What's Next?

Phase two studies are underway but must include consideration of the implications of peak oil.
The aerotropolis “community liaison committee” is continuing to meet monthly in Mount Hope. EH is represented by the committee which is heavily stacked in favour of the aerotropolis.

City officials currently plan to include all the aerotropolis lands in the amalgamated city’s first Official Plan, due to be finalized next June.

Citizens will likely only get to make further comments in the context of the provincially required public consultations on the overall Official Plan.

All boundary expansions, including the Official Plan, must be approved by the province before they are finalized.

Decisions can be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.
