Developers have expressed a strong interest in expanding residential housing in the Wellington Urban Centre. To facilitate residential development in Wellington, the County of Prince Edward must expand water and wastewater services. To recover the growth-related costs of expanding these services, the municipality seeks to introduce an area-specific development charges (DC) background study and by-law.
