Open House Today For Saint Johnners To Have Their Say On New Municipal Plan












Plan SJ continues to receive feed-back as it puts together ideas that will shape the new municipal plan for the city that will be a roadmap to guide future development over the next generation.

Deputy Commissioner of Planning Jacqueline Hamilton tells CHSJ News, they are close to completing the first two years of the proposal. According to Hamilton, there is more capacity for Saint John to grow then there is demand so tough decisions have to be made on whether to focus attention on the urban core or in the suburbs.

Hamilton adds right now is a key time for public input as this phase will set the course for the new municipal plan.
 
An open house meeting is scheduled for today at Simonds High School starting at four and running until eight o'clock. A final report is due to be handed over to City Council in 2012.
