The city and County of Grande Prairie are encouraging residents to attend a public open house on October 7th to review the final version of the drafted Intermunicipal Development Plan.
The IDP is described as a long-term strategic plan required by the Municipal Government Act that outlines a cohesive plan for development and infrastructure near municipal boundaries.
Over the summer, both the City and County of Grande Prairie conducted engagement sessions with community members on the draft updates and gathered their input during two open houses in July. Since then, the feedback was received and has informed a number of revisions to the drafted IDP.
Grande Prairie County Reeve Bob Marshall says the feedback gathered throughout this process will continue coordinating planning in the city and the county to ensure changes align with what both communities wish to see.
“The ongoing feedback from our residents plays an important role in ensuring we have an updated Intermunicipal Development Plan that will continue to coordinate our land use planning, economic development, and transportation needs in the areas that join our neighbouring municipalities,” he says.
The public open house is scheduled for October 7th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Teresa Sargent Hall in the Montrose Cultural Centre.
