The City of Quinte West is seeking community input on future growth as it reviews its Official Plan.
The Official Plan is the City’s key planning document that outlines how land in the community should be used.
The City will host three public open houses where the the public can weigh in on topics such as the protection of woodlands and wetlands, the development of walking and cycling infrastructure, policies to address climate change, and the proposed urban boundary expansion to allow more land for housing.
Each open house will focus on different areas of the Plan.
