Project MOVE Moving Forward - Council approved building a new municipal office building at 2585 King Rd., site of the former Holy Name school after being presented with three options. The first two involved partial demolition and renovation of the existing building, while the third option called for a ALL complete demolition and new build. The new build was estimated to cost only 3.7% more than next cheapest option, and it comes with many more benefits, including more cost certainty and a longer life expectancy.
The demolition is slated to start this summer, with the completion of the building scheduled for late 2017.
Clean Yards By-law - Council received a draft ‘clean yards’ bylaw for review. The bylaw was designed ECONOMIC to deal more efficiently with nuisance and property standards issues. Some of those issues include long grass, overgrown weeds, derelict vehicles, standing water and littering. Council made a few comments SOCIO-CULTURE

However, many of them “rarely or never” shop in King City (44.1 per cent), Nobleton (51.8 per cent) or Schomberg (57.6 per cent). The reason? - More than 70 per cent said the main reason they don’t shop locally is because the goods and services they need are not available. “Your voice has been heard” said Mayor Steve Pellegrini. “We’re pleased that residents want to shop locally. Now we have to continue working hard at attracting businesses that will provide the goods and services residents currently have to leave King to get.” More than 57 per cent of respondents agreed with the statement businesses in King do not sell the products and services they need. However, the overwhelming majority said they would make use of local shops and services if they were available. For full survey results visit the “Start or Expand a Business” section of the King website or see direct links below: King Township Resident Survey results (March 2016) King City Resident Survey results (March 2016) “The survey was a good way for us to capture data on people’s local shopping habits,” said King Township’s Economic Development Officer Jamie Smyth. “We will use the results as we continue to work on attracting and retaining businesses we know King residents are seeking and are a long term and viable fit for King.” 523 residents completed the survey over the course of the 8 weeks it was open for response from mid- January to mid-March. The survey was a direct outcome of the village revitalization forum held late last year. The King Township Economic Development officer met with key business stakeholders from King City, Nobleton and Schomberg, who were asked about their villages. One of the items discussed was how to better understand the goods and services needs of King Township residents. -30- Media contact Jason Ballantyne, communications officer Phone: 905-833-4573 Email: jballantyne@king Lying in the heart of the Greater Toronto Area, King Township is located within York Region, one of the fastest growing and diverse economies in Canada. More than 60 per cent of the Holland Marsh, also known as Ontario's salad bowl, lies within King Township. Though predominantly rural, most of King Township’s 20,000 residents live in the communities of King City, Nobleton and Schomberg. Residents and visitors are drawn to King because of its rural lifestyle, village atmosphere and quality of life. SHOPKing Survey ResultsFor more information visit us at www.king.ca Page 31 of 31
