councillors suld during the yearlong that such a pipeline could spell the end of much of the agricultural land In southern Hills because vicing could lead to pressure from developers to build on lhc land Hills Mayor Muss Miller said the consensus among councillors from throughout was that the pipeline is inevltnlle If there Is going to be any growth In Mlllon and southern Hills Milton councillors especially very high on the pipeline he said The industrial corridor is a viry very vnluabk piece of property and develop it for industry is crucial increase the lax base of Hilts in the future said

terms of Importance he community said Sheldon I think consensus in my par group was that some day yes a big pipe is going to come up from Lake Ontario Hut must plan for it now or massive growth on the scale of Peel Region could be Imposed on Region by Park she said tut can keep the pipe away longer If plans properly for the future she said The nexi step is lo hold more public meetings on issue and
