HRMbyDesign Centre Plan public consultations continue
(Tuesday, April
10, 2012) Halifax, NS – HRM citizens are reminded of the ongoing public
consultation meetings being held to initiate the first phase of HRMbyDesign’s
Centre Plan. This phase of the Centre Plan will deliver new land use policies for
several commercial corridors in Halifax and Dartmouth in 2012, to ensure that
the character and scale of neighbourhoods is protected, while accommodating new
opportunities for well-designed
densification.
Two public consultation meetings will be held in each
Halifax and Dartmouth neighbourhood where growth opportunities and challenges
have been identified. The first meeting will provide information on the approach
and gain community input on the boundary of the area, and how the Centre Plan
can protect and build on community’s assets. The second meeting will propose
policy and by-law changes based on feedback received at the first
meeting.
