The Town of Tecumseh is asking for public input regarding a proposed housing development that would add 428 new residential units to a site south of County Road 22 and east of Lesperance Road.
The development application, which is currently being reviewed by the County of Essex, involves a 9.5-hectare parcel of land within the area known as the Manning Road Secondary Plan. The proposed plan includes 96 townhouses spread across 20 blocks, along with 332 apartment units. The apartment portion, known as the Fuze Tecumseh development, is already under construction by Petretta Construction.
Residents who wish to share their feedback on the project have until May 12, 2026, to submit their comments in writing. The County of Essex serves as the official body responsible for approving the plan, and it is important for residents to know that submitting written comments by the deadline is a required step for those who wish to maintain their right to appeal the decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The proposed subdivision is part of a larger push by the Town of Tecumseh to increase the local housing supply as outlined in its strategic plan. The broader Manning Road area is planned for significant growth, with a vision for up to 3,300 homes supported by a multi-million dollar regional stormwater management project.
Questions or written submissions regarding the application should be directed to Rebecca Belanger, the manager of planning services at the County of Essex.
