Town holding meetings on Community Improvement Plans

February 26, 2015 · 0 Comments

Community Improvement Plans (CIP) are in the works for six of Caledon’s villages.
The Town will be holding two open houses and workshops in March to give the public more information on what’s being proposed.
The session planned for March 2 will be at Caledon Village Place. It will deal with the plans for Alton, Caledon village, Cheltenham and Inglewood. The March 30 meeting will be at Palgrave Public School, and will involve proposals for Mono Mills and Palgrave.
Both session will run from 7 until 9 p.m., with presentations starting at 7:15.
A CIP encourages revitalization, investment, improvement and promotes economic development in a village. Using a CIP, the Town may provide financial incentives like grants or loans to people who wish to improve or develop their property. The Plan may also establish a framework for Town-led initiatives, such as infrastructure improvements, streetscape improvements and other revitalization initiatives. The study focuses on revitalizing the villages and improving the quality of life for residents.
The purpose of the meetings is to introduce the project and seek public input on the issues to be addressed by CIPs. Each meeting will include a presentation as well as a workshop.
Interested persons who are not able to attend are welcome to submit written comments to Paula Strachan, project manager of the Six Villages Community Improvement Plan at Paula.Strachan@caledon.ca
The materials presented at the open house will be posted on the Town’s web site at www.caledon.ca/sixvillages following the sessions.
