The Planning Department is actively involved with ensuring that all development in the Town is environmentally and economically sustainable. Mono experiences strong growth pressure as a desirable location for spinoff development from the Greater Toronto Area. The Town's objective is to balance the opportunity for growth against the need to protect its treasured scenic and environmental resources.
