Future growth

The Town is poised for growth over the next decade. Keswick is the area with the most forecasted population growth and development, which includes 500+ acres of employment land on the east side of Woodbine Avenue at the terminus of the Highway 404 extension. Jackson’s Point and Sutton are expected to experience a moderate degree of growth. 

As we grow, Georgina is building the infrastructure to ensure it can meet the needs of our businesses and residents now and into the future.
