Mayor Josh Morgan of London, Ontario, has expressed optimism regarding an $8.8 billion plan by the provincial government to reduce Development Charges on new homes across Ontario. The proposed changes aim to stimulate housing construction by lowering the fees developers pay to municipalities for infrastructure and services. While specific details are still emerging, the initiative signals a significant shift in provincial housing policy, potentially impacting the cost of new builds and the affordability of homes within London and the wider province. This plan is a key component of Ontario's strategy to address the ongoing housing crisis and increase the supply of available residences.
