Stop Woodstock Land Grab


In May 2023, the Township of Norwich was approached by the City of Woodstock to begin boundary adjustment discussions. The area currently being discussed represents a mixture of residential and farm properties, approximately 975 acres of land, spanning from Pattullo Avenue southward towards Old Stage Road.
The City of Woodstock states that this boundary adjustment is only looking to “move the line” to bring the proposed lands within Woodstock city limits and that this adjustment process has no impact on land use or property ownership. However, their growth and development plans state otherwise!
Looking at page 15 of their assessment (link below) this realignment of Pattullo Avenue is only necessary to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic that their industrial development plan predicts. Furthermore, they omit the fact that the construction plans they want to implement (pages 19-27) after making this boundary adjustment, will undoubtedly impact land use, as well as property ownership.
Please sign this petition and help us say no to Woodstock's annexation plans and preserve Norwich land for future generations.
