Proposed New Muncipal Plan Up For Public Discussion Tonight

You'll get your chance at a public hearing later today to have a say on the proposed new municipal plan that Plan SJ is getting ready to propose for the approval of Common Council.

The provisions in this plan will guide future development for the next generation.

Jacqueline Hamilton of Plan SJ says the aim is to focus development closer to the uptown core and that means there will be limitations imposed on residential rural development within city limits although it won't be eliminated altogether.



Hamilton says they have received more than 30 submissions to date and most support the new direction.

The public hearing starts at 5:30 in Council Chambers.
