Municipal staff are recommending that a decision on new development charges and water rates in Quinte West be postponed.
During Wednesday’s council meeting, councillors received a report outlining ongoing discussions and consultations with developers and builders by municipal staff.
Consultants recommended development charges increase by over 150 per cent to $37,000 per single family house from just $15,000.
Developers believe that increase is too high.
A final decision on the charges is expected at the October 2 council meeting.
