Sarnia lowers development charges

Sarnia has dramatically reduced the cost to build in the city’s Development Area 2, after hiking development charges about two years ago. “I know they had raised them, and we were kind of against that,” said Sarnia-Lambton real estate association president Jeremy Guerette. “To see them pull it back some was definitely very positive.” City council recently approved staff recommendations to cut development charges in all areas of the city, based on input from Guerette
