Annexation Public Meeting

St Marys is holding public meeting Tuesday, August 8 at 5pm on their plan to annex land from Perth South. The land is from south of the current town boundary to Highway 7, from the CNR in the west to the border of lots 11 and 12 in the east. Perth South will be holding its own public meeting the same day at 7pm.Perth South rezoned the land to highway commercial / industrial in October 2005. St Marys appealed the rezoning but just prior to the June hearing withdrew its objection. St Marys intends the land be used for industrial development. There has been no announcement on how much St Marys taxpayers will pay Perth South taxpayers for the land.

Update: September 13, Perth County turned down the annexation request from St Marys.
