About

Your.Nanticoke

Your Nanticoke is a PROPOSAL of what is possible – ready for community input once Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) is approved.

A Vision of What’s Possible…

For over 40 years, these lands (bordered by Lake Erie to the South, Hwy 6 to the West, Nanticoke Creek to the East and Haldimand Road 3 running East-West through the property) have remained sterile from new employment uses due to lack of infrastructure. Multiple attempts by municipal council in the past have failed to attract new employers to the area. As a strong community partner, Empire is thrilled to respond to the challenge of creating a path to growth and economic opportunity, in order to lay the groundwork for a community where families can live, work and play for generations to come. That is how Your Nanticoke took shape.

Your Nanticoke, Haldimand County MZO Proposal - Child on Swing in Community Centre & Pool Recreational Area

Your Nanticoke is a game-changing development that creates economic opportunities. A community-driven proposal that combines our traditions with modern amenities, taking what is foundational from our past to build a bright future in Nanticoke and all of Haldimand. A proposal that protects existing employers, that builds new infrastructure to support the entire region and provides active-living amenities for the entire community to enjoy, at no additional cost to your family.

Community Partnership

We fully support Haldimand County’s decision to ask the Province of Ontario for an MZO. The MZO will finally open the door for discussion around the future of land that for over 40 years has been wrapped in red tape and restricted to industrial uses. Once approved, we can start the process that will allow Nanticoke and Haldimand County residents to grow their community’s potential. Together, we can realize a vision for a multidimensional community, support existing industries and create new opportunities, while upholding Nanticoke’s traditions and character.

2. Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment Plant

Your Nanticoke brings together a seamless blend of agricultural, commercial, residential and recreational uses. It proposes to create a complete community where all generations can live, work and play.

5. PROTECTION OF EXISTING INDUSTRIES

Building a new sewage treatment plant will allow current employers to cease their dependency on the current lagoon systems and utilize a new modern, environmentally responsible facility.

By expanding our community’s employment, residential and recreational opportunities, our existing businesses and industries can continue to thrive and grow through increased support and prosperity.

6. ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND GROWTH

Establishing an employment and commercial hub for the area will make goods and services more accessible closer to home.

The introduction of over 10,000 new jobs will mean our children and grandchildren can start their families and careers right here in Haldimand.

7. Affordable Living Options

The community-driven proposal prioritizes Affordable Housing options for young families.

Your Nanticoke will introduce 2,000 homes dedicated to Affordable Housing.

A mix of commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential uses allow Your Nanticoke to support new and existing Haldimand residents so our children and grandchildren can live, work and play right here at home for generations to come.
