Hasty Tract

In November 2020, Springwater Council approved the purchase of a 50 acre parcel of land from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry at a cost of $3,884,846 plus HST. The land, known as the Hast Tract is located at 1132 Snow Valley Road and will be used for the creation of a community hub. 

The location is ideal for a community hub and is supported by the Bayfield Corridor Study in the Official Plan review. The area provides a strategic location for community services, access to Simcoe County LINX transit and potential in the long-term for local, higher level public services and development of Midhurst's future downtown area. 

About the project

Immediate plans for the land include:

• New fire station
• New recreation centre with arena
• Library and creative space
• Meeting and activity space
• active and passive recreation opportunities (ie: trails and sports fields)
• Simcoe County EMS station
