What is an area redevelopment plan?

An area redevelopment plan provides a roadmap for the revitalization and development of a community.

Why is it important?

Throughout multiple engagements over the past 15 to 20 years, the Municipality has consistently heard that residents want a safe, aesthetically pleasing downtown with better access to the waterfront and opportunities to engage in cultural events and activities.

An action plan that is realistic, implementable and accountable is needed to drive the changes that will be needed to see this vision come to life.
