The city of Vaughan continues to transform. Due to its high standard of living, accessible location, world-class amenities, development options, subway connections and so much more, Vaughan continues to attract significant opportunities for investment in residential, commercial and industrial projects year after year.
But city building doesn’t happen overnight. All developments undergo a careful review by City staff, Vaughan Council and public agencies, including the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, York Region and provincial ministries, where appropriate. This is also why the City asks for residents’ feedback throughout the planning process – well before shovels hit the ground.
