But first, we’re spending the money on a lot of the adjacent roads. That will take a lot of traffic off Main Street when construction starts. We have to rip up a 100-year-old pipe that goes right through Honouring the First People who cared for this Land and the current diverse, culturally rich, progressive and vibrant community of Stouffville.
