Developing Story, Ep 1: Hazeldean Crossing

Team Stittsville — Fri, 29 May 2020 17:00:06 +0000

The first episode of a video series about development and growth in Stittsville. In this episode, we look at the Hazeldean Crossings development at the corner of Hazeldean & Victor that was approved earlier this month by the City’s Planning Committee. The development includes 86 townhomes on the site of an old gas station, and has generated quite a bit of community concern and feedback. Councillor Glen Gower and Véronique Bergeron talk about the planning process and decision-making that goes to development applications.
