The public being invited to an open house tonight to help review the city's draft municipal plan.

Jacqueline Hamilton with Plan SJ says staff will be available to answer questions and a there's also a workbook to help guide people through the document.

Plan SJ is also presenting the draft plan to developers and outlying municpalities this week.

Tonight's session goes from 5:30 to 9 at Saint John High School with a presentation starting at 6pm.

The thrust of the new municipal plan is to have more development taking place closer to the urban core without an influx of big high rise buildings being constructed but the goal is to have greater density of population in a smaller area to reduce costs for the city.
