PerthWorks - Concept to Reality

Originally a concept and a process, PerthWorks is on its way to becoming a real live sustainable neighbourhood in Perth, Ontario. Located on a 2.3 acre brownfield site, minutes from down town, the intent is to demonstrate an alternative form of small-town development that is friendlier to the environment, less costly to service and more supportive of a healthy and friendly neighbourhood lifestyle.

PerthWorks has tremendous potential to establish a process that could be replicated by other small rural municipalities, who otherwise have little opportunity to get innovative "green" developers to invest in their community. Recognizing this, the planning portion of this project has received support from both Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
