Require a mitigation plan for Mental Health and Addiction services that addresses the Proponent's finding that 'existing supports and services are insufficient to address the need'.
Strategic Rationale
"The filing explicitly states that mental health and addiction services in the region are 'insufficient' and that demand is growing. Since Melgund residents rely entirely on these same regional supports, any increase in demand from the project workforce could collapse the existing system. The Proponent must explain how they will augment these services rather than simply drawing from a depleted regional capacity."
