Public to get look at
draft Plan
by Vance Gutzman
Residents of Deep River will be able to get up close and personal with
the town's new Official Plan (OP).
The town has been working on upgrades to the master planning document
for the course of the past year, as per provincial mandate that it
conduct a review every five years of the OP.
The draft official plan has been posted on the town's website and an
open house for the public to study it further will be held Wednesday,
January 18, from 6-7 pm.
A subsequent public meeting, at which time comments can be made on the
plan, will be held a week later, on Wednesday, January 25, at 6 pm.
A meeting will also be held in the near future, though a date has not
yet been set, to discuss a proposed community improvement plan (CIP)
for the town.
"It's a tool we can offer to promote development that might not
otherwise take place," Deputy Mayor Daniel Banks said of the CIP
concept.
