Key Gray of Bulldog Ottawa reports that Rideau-Goulbourn Councillor Scott Moffatt opposes a proposed development in southwest Ottawa estimated to be valued hundreds of millions of dollars. According to Gray, a development consortium lead by an organization named Walton International is working on developing a 4,000-acre city, which would be located in a parcel of land stretching from the Manotick area to West Carleton and Kanata. In a separate blog post Gray praises Coun. Moffatt for taking this stand.
