History
The Townsend Community Development Program was formed in April 1975, when the responsibility for the project was transferred from the Program and Support Section of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. It had previously been known as the Haldimand- Norfolk Project, and had begun in 1974 when the Government of Ontario acquired land in the area for a new community.
In 1977 the program was briefly re-named the Project Evaluation Branch. In 1978, responsibility for the Townsend development passed to the Ontario Land Corporation. The Corporation was assisted by the Land Development Wing of the Ministry of Housing, and the Project Evaluation Branch was integrated into the operations of the new wing.
