Official Plans Comes Back to Public


A draft of Fort Frances' official plan comes before the public for comment this week.

Consultant Greg Hynde says the document which sets out guidelines for development addresses a number of key issues.

"It does conform with the provincial policies, all of them," says Hynde, "including the growth plan. We put in some guiding principals for sustainability that he province wants in your document. We have new policies and designations for environmental protection."

The town will hold two public meetings Wednesday to gather public input.
