Last June, the City of Thompson received 60-thousand dollars from the Building Sustainable Communities grant.
This money will be used toward the updating of the Zoning By-Law and Development Plan for the city.
Mayor Colleen Smook shares details about the project.
“The last time that Thompson’s district development plan was approved was 2012 and 2013 so it’s definitely in need of updating. This project will create two new documents incorporating amendments that have been made and been making over the last few years.”
The project, which is estimated to take between 10 to 12 months to complete, will cost 120-thousand dollars in total.
It must be wrapped up by March 31st, 2025, or the province’s money will have to be returned.
At Monday’s Committee of the Whole Meeting, it was recommended that the city approve the city’s portion of 60-thousand dollars to come from the General Reserve account in order to get the project underway.
