A new citizen's committee is being formed to assist the town of Fort Frances with its review of its official plan and zoning by-law documents.

The updates are being done to reflect changes in provincial policies and the municipal planning act. Municipal Planner Faye Flatt says the new steering committee will play a vital role in that review.

"We'll be taking our existing documents, looking for input from the community," says Flatt. "The steering committee will act as a liaison to bring those comments from the community to develop policies that we can implement to give guidance to development."

Flatt says the work will begin next week and the town's still seeking individuals to sit on the committee.
