Niverville and RM of Hanover Agree to Annexation Deal

Due to growth, Niverville has signed an agreement with the RM of Hanover to incorporate vacant land in Hanover to the Town of Niverville, redrawing the municipal boundaries.

Currently Niverville has limited urban commercial, industrial and institutional vacant land available to accommodate development within its boundaries and has been discussing with Hanover a proposal for annexation of land.

Without much opposition, the RM of Hanover and Niverville also agreed that the annexation would proceed expeditiously. The Town of Niverville will virtually see the land under its jurisdiction just about double in size adding over 2,500 acres.

Niverville has agreed to pay Hanover annual instalments starting the year after the planned area is annexed over 10 years. Payments will be adjusted annually being reduced by 10% each year starting with 100% in year one and ending with 10% in year ten.

In addition the Town of Niverville will be responsible for all expenses incurred within the annexed area with the exception of any commercial corridor zone. In the commercial corridor zone has both municipalities equally responsible for all costs and equally entitled to any revenue.

The final step will be a proposed public hearing in front of the Municipal Board.
