Planning for Future Development in the Irish Loop

"Memorial Presents" Public Forum

Wednesday, February 4, 7:00-9:00pm

Regina Mundi Complex, Renews

It’s said that a failure to plan is a plan to fail. Like many areas in the province,  ommunities in the Irish Loop often do not have Town Plans. This means town councils make land use and development decisions on a case-by-case basis, without having a plan to provide continuity and help guide the long-term growth of communities. This gap in policy can lead to disjointed development and frustration for citizens, developers and councillors.

Join a panel of experts for a discussion about Town Plans, how they get made, and how they might be used by communities in the Irish Loop to ensure the region develops in a sustainable way. Panelists include:

  • Harold Mullowney, Chair, Southern Shore Joint Council
  • Neil Dawe, President, Tract Consulting
  • Dr. Tom Cooper, Professor, Faculty of Business Administration, Memorial University
