Business Park II
Derry Green Corporate Business Park Secondary Plan
The area referred to as Derry Green Corporate Business Park (Business Park II) within the Town of Milton, is the second of two planned employment areas being implemented as part of the Halton Urban Structure Plan (HUSP). In order for this area to develop, the following must occur:
- the 401 Industrial/Business Park, the first phase of employment development, has to reach the Town’s Official Plan requirement that 75% of the area must be built out; and,
- a secondary plan must be completed.
The 401 Industrial/Business Park area is approximately 80% complete. Therefore, the Town of Milton is currently proceeding to prepare for the development of the Business Park II lands, which will accommodate the majority of the Town’s future employment land growth, through the preparation of a secondary plan and supporting studies.
The secondary plan will provide detailed policies on matters such as land use, urban form and design, transportation, servicing, including stormwater management, parks, heritage and other related issues.
