In a bold and commendable move, the Region of Peel has taken decisive action to address one of the most pressing challenges facing Ontario’s housing market: the cost to build crisis. In late June, Peel Regional Council voted to reduce residential development charges (DCs) by 50 per cent, a decision that will significantly improve the financial viability of new home construction in the region. The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) applauds the leadership of Peel Regional Chair Nando Iannicca, Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish, and the entire Peel Regional Council.
