Business Association provides input to the City Official Plan

The City of Ottawa’s Official Plan might seem a remote topic to business and property owners in the Corridor but it will have impacts.  The business association met recently with Councillor’s El-Chantiry and Moffatt along with City General Manager Steve Willis to bring forward the positions of area owners.  Those positions, gathered over many years of operation of the business association, include some owners interest in municipal water and transit, growing traffic congestion and greater flexibility of land use permissions other than industrial.  We received a positive response from the City and an anticipated followup later in the spring.  The final new Official Plan is scheduled to be released in the fall.  If you would like to know more about our input and the process please get in touch.
