Having grown up in Gravenhurst, I have a sincere love and appreciation for the Mukoka region and its waterways. Not only will this develop over burden exiting infrastructure in Gravenhurst it will do unknown harm to the environment. Muskoka is home to many different types of wildlife that has already been negatively impacted by the development of private cottages. I implore Doug Ford and the Ontario Government to reconsider this develop and to preserve the waterfront and landscape for future generations.
We should be working to reduce our impact on the environment and beautiful resources of our wonderful province, not ravage it further with massive developments like this.
I’m old enough to remember when the Centre closed. The government assured the people of Gravenhurst only developments that brought back high paying, skilled jobs would be permitted. This proposed development brings nothing but seasonal low paying jobs. It will add environmental stress on Gravenhurst Bay. It benefits no one but the current governments cronies. Gravenhurst deserves better. It deserved better 30 years ago and it deserves better today.
