The City and County of Grande Prairie are asking for public feedback on the recently drafted Intermunicipal Development Plan.
The plan is required by the Municipal Government Act and is described as a long-term, strategic plan outlining a vision for infrastructure development near municipal boundaries, which Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says will help the two municipalities continue their collaborative partnership in the future.
“[The plan] ensures that the City and County of Grande Prairie continue to collaborate and achieve our shared vision for growth and sustainability,” she says.
To assist in the process, two open houses are scheduled to encourage participation from residents in both communities, with the first on July 18th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the TARA Centre’s LSM Room, and the second on July 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Teresa Sargent Hall.
Officials suggest that additional open house opportunities will be made available in August, upon completing the final version of the IDP before the public hearing.
