S T O P - Rezoning of Agricultural Land at 5063 Jones Baseline Rd - LINKS Below! HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
Neighbours WE need your H E L P! This Rezoning WILL happen without your SUPPORT!
Please help us protect our Agricultural and Environmentally Protected land in the Guelph/Eramosa Township.
Minus Forty located in Georgetown has submitted an application to the Township of Guelph/Eramosa for rezoning 5063 Jones Baseline from Agricultural and Environmentally Protected land to Rural Industrial to build a manufacturing facility on 27 acres of land, approximately 4 TIMES the size of an average Costco!
The impact could be tremendous on drinking water supply that is presently rated HIGH RISK, the environment, loss of agricultural land, and increased pollution and traffic on our roads with higher noise levels.
If this re-Zoning to RURAL INDUSTRIAL is approved at 5063 Jones Baseline Road, then other land zoned Agricultural in your area could be next!
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR PETITION NOW!

The days have been long and honestly it often feels like we are shouting into the void. We are getting very close to the one hundred signature mark and I need you to push this a little further so we cannot be ignored.

Don't forget to include the traffic / car implications at shift change. Look at whether or not they could apply for a Hwy 7 road access. What is their environmental impact - carbon emissions, idling of trucks and waste management - garbage and water.
This is a ridiculous request as Jones Baseline is not suitable whatsoever for industrial truck traffic, nor is turning rural farmland into factories when there are industrial sites available next to major transportation arteries. This should not be approved.
If Guelph-Eramosa Township wants to diversify into industries other than agriculture, at the time of the next election, candidates should state their support for an industrial park and zone the park for future industrial development. Until then, this one-off application should be denied.
We moved to this rural community for a quiet and peaceful lifestyle. If you rezone this land for industrial then the farmland around our house is next and so on. This will be the beginning of destroying our community's neighbourhood and environment and water resources.
Too much agricultural land is being lost to corporate development. It seems that either large housing tracts or industrial plants are going in. When do we stop changing zoning to appease big business? Where will our food be grown if this continues.
It is wrong to put a large industrial plant around rural homes that have been there for almost half a century.

Agricultural land needs to be protected. Wells in the area will be affected causing undue monetary hardship for the families in the area, along with the potential health risks posed by water, air and noise pollution.
