Elgin County Official Plan Review

<p class="_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body"><span class="S1PPyQ">Elgin County&#39;s budget is guided by Council&#39;s strategic priorities as set out in the Strategic Plan. The County&#39;s fiscal year is from January 1 to December 31. Municipal budget decisions set the funding for important infrastructure, programs, services, and facilities that serve Elgin County residents and ensure a high quality of life.</span><span class="S1PPyQ white-space-prewrap"> </span></p><p class="_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body"><span class="S1PPyQ">Elgin County residents do not pay taxes directly to the County. Instead, the County tax levy is added to the tax bill in each area Municipality and then transferred to the County from the Municipality of West Elgin, Municipality of Dutton Dunwich, Township of Southwold, Municipality of Central Elgin, Township of Malahide, Town of Aylmer, and the Municipality of Bayham. The County&#39;s annual budget is then financed by these tax levies as well as senior government funding, reserve funding, and other fees collected.</span></p><p class="_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body"><span class="S1PPyQ">By taking a long-term 10-year approach to developing the budget, Council strives to proactively plan for challenges facing our residents while identifying opportunities to ensure Elgin is a place where people want to live, work and play.</span><span class="S1PPyQ white-space-prewrap"> </span></p><p class="_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body"><span class="S1PPyQ">Understanding municipal budgets can be a daunting task. </span>Watch the video below to learn more about how the Elgin County Budget works:</p><p><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-rv fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZkxFgqNCAgo?&wmode=opaque&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></p><p><span class="S1PPyQ">Additionally, the </span><span class="S1PPyQ">Municipal Property Assessment Corporation</span><span class="S1PPyQ"> (MPAC) also created an excellent overview of the municipal budget process and how MPAC assesses your property.

Investing in Elgin

<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><strong>Project Description</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 2024, the County of Elgin in partnership with the Municipality of Central Elgin is planning to reconstruct St. George Street (County Road 26) to an urban road standard from Wellington Road (County Road 25) to the CN railway crossing. The reconstruction project will include the replacement of aging storm water infrastructure, road base reconstruction complete with sidewalk and curb installation, and asphalt placement.</span></span></p><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-61d77d56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-element_type="widget" data-id="61d77d56" data-widget_type="heading.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Construction Detour</strong></span></span></h3></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-45d903a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-element_type="widget" data-id="45d903a6" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A tailored construction detour for each phase will be in place throughout the duration of the project.

St. George Street Reconstruction

<p>The Terrace Lodge Long-Term Care Home located in Malahide Township, Elgin County will undergo a redevelopment that is scheduled to be completed in January of 2024. Terrace Lodge was originally built in 1977 and has been home to hundreds of Elgin County residents over the past 40 years. The redevelopment has been designed to better meet the complex needs of Long-Term Care residents in 2021 and beyond. The redevelopment will maintain the 100 beds currently available at Terrace Lodge and consist of an addition and significant renovations to existing areas.</p><h2>Virtual Flythrough of Terrace Lodge Redevelopment</h2><p><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-rv fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iLQnhEMklZU?&t=9sautoplay=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></p><h2><br></h2><h2>Terrace Lodge Redevelopment - Sneak Peek - November 2022</h2><p><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-rv fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uXHA6gPziuQ?autoplay=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br></p><h2><br></h2>

Terrace Lodge Redevelopment 

<p>The County of Elgin has identified the need to upgrade its current original 1930&rsquo;s vintage elevator systems at the Administration Building and address accessibility deficiencies on the main level, between the outer and center blocks of the building so as to maintain compliance with the Province&rsquo;s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requirement and significantly improve barrier-free circulation on this level.</p><p>In accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act introduced in 2005, municipalities are required to ensure compliance with all applicable provincial accessibility codes, legislation, and standards when redeveloping public facilities</p><p>The new elevators and front entrance accessibility upgrades will address a significant challenge associated with the original Administration Building design, and will allow barrier-free access to all floor levels of the building once completed. Compliance with all applicable provincial codes, legislation and standards, will achieve the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act&rsquo;s mandate for an accessible Ontario by 2025. As the County&rsquo;s Administration Building services all local municipal partners, building tenants, residents, tourists and visitors, the building upgrades will achieve the Act&rsquo;s mandate.</p>
