The Town of Petawawa and its consultant (WSP) have prepared a Draft Community Improvement Plan (CIP), which is available for viewing on the Town’s website.
A CIP is a planning and economic development tool that sets out a framework to assist in community revitalization, and aims to achieve economic, community planning and urban development goals. CIPs can provide many community benefits by:
- Stimulating private sector investment in targeted areas of the community through grants from the Town;
- Promoting revitalization and place-making to attract tourism, business investment and economic development opportunities;
- Enhancing streetscapes and building facades;
- Encouraging the development affordable housing; and
- Promoting brownfield cleanup and redevelopment.
To date, the community engagement activities have included a community survey and a business survey which has informed the development of the CIP. The Municipal Workshop is the next engagement event in this planning process. The Municipal Workshop is an opportunity for attendees to discuss the following components of the CIP:
1) CIP Vision and Goals;
2) Financial Incentive Programs; and
3) Municipal Leadership Strategy.
At the Municipal Workshop, the Town’s consultant, WSP, will give a presentation, summarizing the process and findings to date, followed by an in-depth facilitated discussion on the Draft CIP.
We need your input into the Draft CIP and hope you can attend the Municipal Workshop.
