The Official Plan (OP) for Carleton Place, as written in 2015, predicted slow and steady growth for the long term.
Niki Dwyer, Director of Development Services for the Town, says nothing could have been further from the truth.
Dwyer says that in addition to validating Lanark County’s population projections there are a number of areas of exploration based on the specific zones or neighbourhoods that comprise the community.
The Carleton Place Director of Development Services says the draft Official Plan document has been three years in the making, and there’s plenty of background information for those interested in reviewing it.
The material is on the Town’s website.
Dwyer says the Town is increasingly restricted on Planning items within its control, but the three facets of managing growth remain, “up, out- or in between.”
