The Town of Bracebridge has initiated a Community Improvement Plan Project which will involve a review of the Town's existing Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and the development of a new CIP. Several years have passed since the Town's existing CIP was prepared and there are a number of reasons to review existing programs and look at new opportunities. The CIP Project work plan will explore new legislative tools (under Section 28 of the Planning Act), contemporary best practises, issues and concerns with the existing Town program, and the potential to align community improvements with new local economic development goals. A team of consultants from Zelinka Priamo Ltd. and TCI Management Consultants have been retained by the municipality to assist with the CIP Project.
As part of the preliminary phase of the CIP Project, a Public Open House was held on March 6, 2012 to provide an opportunity for members of the public to learn about and provide input on community improvement and local economic development. The purpose of the Open House was to:
-
Introduce the goals, objectives and timing of the project;
-
Describe the tools, opportunities and legislative requirements of Community Improvement Plans;
-
Present some of the preliminary findings;
-
Obtain input with respect to issues and options related to the Study Areas; and
-
Discuss local economic development issues, concerns, and ideas.
Here is a copy of the presentation made at the open house and during recent focus groups. Based on that information, please provide us with your input for Bracebrige's new Community Improvement Plan. Complete this survey.
