> Step 2) Sign Our Petition Online

Summary
A developer is seeking to get approval from the Metropolitan Planning Commission to build 400 new homes in the Georgetown community that is off Wild Heron road. Georgetown already has major traffic problems from those that cut through on Wild Heron from Richmond Hill. Adding over 400 homes would only make our quality life go way down.

Georgetown Does Not Want 400 Homes Created
The Georgetown community does not want 400 new homes built off Wild Heron Rd. Instead, we are requesting a traffic study to be conducted and a reduced number of homes allowed that is comparable to existing neighborhoods. The only way to prevent this from happening is to physically attend the MPC meeting in-person on April 11th at 1:30pm and to collectively sign a petition. We kindly ask that you attend this meeting in-person and sign the petition to save our community.
