Town extends deadline for public to comment on hospital funding plan The Town of Halton Hills has extended its deadline for the public comment on a proposal that the municipality contribute $4.546 million for the Georgetown Hospital renovation and expansion. The Town's contribution will come from a dedicated levy on property owners-- about $24/year for 10 years. Comments will now be accepted until Friday, Feb. 25. A hospital decision to proceed with the $12.1 million expansion without provincial funding is dependent on a favourable vote for the contribution by Town council. The project would accommodate a CT Scanner and improve the Emergency Department. Residents can submit their comments via the Town website, www. haltonhills.ca or write to Town Clerk, Town of Halton Hills, 1 Halton Hills Dr., Halton Hills, ON, L7G 5G2.
