NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Open Houses Scheduled to Discuss Draft County Official Plan Thursday, February 4, 2016
Wyoming, ON – Four Open Houses have been scheduled for next month to allow the public an opportunity to review and discuss the County of Lambton’s draft Official Plan.
The Official Plan is a key planning document that outlines County policy for land use as well as environmental, social and economic matters. The document provides a long-term strategy/outlook that is used by municipalities in the County federation to guide their own Official Plans. Public input, received last year on a number of background reports including the topics of agriculture, economic development, natural heritage, and affordable housing, has helped to shape the draft document.
Open Houses will operate as informal, drop-in sessions and will be held:
- 5 – 7 p.m., Monday, March 7 at the Dawn-Euphemia Community Centre (6213 Mill Street, Florence)
- 5 – 7 p.m., Thursday, March 10 at the Victoria Playhouse Petrolia lobby (411 Greenfield Street, Petrolia)
- 5 – 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 22 at the Shores Recreation Centre – lower meeting room (7883 Amtelecom Parkway, Forest)
- 5 – 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 23 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 447(350 Albert Street, Corunna)
A Public Meeting to discuss the draft Official Plan has been tentatively scheduled for June.
The County’s draft Official Plan can be found by clicking on the “Official Plan Review” tab at www.lambtononline.ca.
The current version of the County’s Official Plan came into effect January 3, 1998.
