Public Participation Meeting -- Proposed flood risk amendments

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MEETING

>>> Proposed flood risk amendments

There is an upcoming meeting on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at 6 p.m. that is an opportunity for the public to learn about proposed amendments to the Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law.

The focus of these amendments is to update policy to protect against flooding along the LaHave River while still encouraging development in the downtown.

These amendments may include updating the location of the LaHave River Development Agreement Area (which includes all properties abutting the river), not permitting residential development below a certain elevation, and requiring floodproofing of new construction.

The meeting will be held in Council Chambers at Town Hall (60 Pleasant Street, Bridgewater).

Registration is required by Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 4 p.m.
