12 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday October 14, 2006 www.oakvillebeaver.com Growing commercial tax base is key Continued from page 8 these commercially-zoned areas, especially the ones north of Dundas, to get our commercial and residential tax base in better balance." Urban growth especially north of Dundas is also on Lapworth's list of key issues. "It's critical," he said. "There's a whole 25-year-development plan for the north and if it's not done right, it'll be a big problem." Bringing in more business and industry, he added, is essential. "The key here is that we already have people in place. What we've got to do is figure out a way we can grow around these people without impacting their current lifestyle. That's the critical thing. That's where again the communication comes in," he said, adding that increased communication between Town council and residents is among his top priorities. "We have to install better systems and procedures at the Town to keep the public at large more involved. We have to protect the future as best we can," said Lapworth.

"When we're developing we have to ensure we're saving the mature trees and ensure we're preserving the environment," he said, adding that strategic planning will reduce urban sprawl while preserving the environment and green space.
