Chatham-Kent council vote on a proposed development charges bylaw.

Chatham-Kent council in Ontario will vote on a proposed development charges bylaw on 18 March, aiming to fund infrastructure development and attract housing and economic growth. The current bylaw expires on 25 March, and under Ontario's Development Charges Act, growth-related costs of certain services can be fully funded by the charges. Critics argue that the proposed increases could hinder future growth and place too much financial burden on companies and residents.
