I am a Burlington resident…

I am a Burlington resident and I am writing to express my support for the proposed Minister’s Zoning Order for the Millcroft Greens site.

As a young person from Burlington combating the difficulties of finding housing that is both attainable and located within the community, I strongly believe that the benefit of providing infill housing within an established neighborhood is a greatly beneficial way to not only help housing affordability and supply, but keep young Burlington natives living in Burlington. Supporting new housing opportunities within our city is important if we want people to continue living and contributing here, as many of us want to but are not all able to.

As other communities have resorted to horizontal urban sprawl, this proposal, which represents a positive step toward increasing housing supply through infill of an already established and suitable area of the city, is something that should not only be permitted, but encouraged.

For these reasons, I respectfully support approval of the proposed Minister’s Zoning Order.
