“After great discussions with the Downtown Master Plan Working Group, we are looking forward to presenting the proposed concept plans and to hear the public’s reaction to them,” said Randy Mattice, Manager of Economic Development, “The Downtown Master Plan will drive the evolution of the Downtown over the next five to ten years and it will have its foundation based on input from the community.”
“The input we’ve received so far from Bracebridge residents, business owners and youth has been fantastic,” said Calvin Brook, Principal Owner of Brook McIlroy, the consulting firm engaged in developing the Downtown Master Plan. “We’ve taken the many ideas received and have prepared a series of opportunities that taken together have the ability to significantly strengthen the quality of life for residents and visitors, reconnecting the downtown to the waterfront while creating a stronger market for downtown businesses.
We’re looking forward to getting everyone’s feedback on these ideas in the next few weeks and moving forward with the final stages of the downtown vision.”
If you are unable to attend the public presentation and discussion at 6:30pm, a recording of the presentation will also be posted on the project website https://engagebracebridge.ca/downtown-master-plan along with the opportunity to provide additional written comments and feedback.
