Development Streamlining Review Underway

The Town of Bracebridge 2011 Corporate and Departmental Business Plan, as contained in Appendix "A" to Staff Report AF058-11 and approved by Council on July 6, 2011, included the following project:

"Undertake a review of economic development and development approval structures, policies, processes and procedures with the goals of recognizing the "public interest" and ensuring that the Town is able to respond to development proposals in a clearly understood, efficient, effective and legislatively-sound manner including:

Consultation with business and development community.

Review of municipal "best practices" in other communities.

Review of the Town's current approval structures, policies, processes and procedures.

Review of public education information and processes.

Review of available incentive programs."

There are many steps in this process.  A final report is to be presented to the Development Services Committee in May 2012.
