[edit] Development of Hawthorne Village

Dramatic evidence that Milton was in for a period of growth and change came with the construction of the first new homes in the subdivision built by Mattamy that was called Hawthorne Village. This and other growth was fueled in 1999 by 15.5 km of new water main from the Upper Middle Road Reservoir, colloquially known as the big pipe, and sewage lines to Oakville treatment facilities.

Prior to this the last subdivision developments in the urban area had been registered 25 years earlier. In 2001 about 1,600 building permits were issued and growth was evident. Recently the Sherwood survey has been approved for the south west side of the town with provision for 12,000 more homes and about 35,000 people. A Third Phase, known as the Boyne Survey is expected to be developed in about 15 years.

Population of Milton is ultimately expected to be 106,000 with 34,000 residential units.
