SASKATOON NORTH PARTNERSHIP FOR GROWTH (P4G) RELEASES INTERIM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) is pleased to announce the release of the Interim Development Strategy, available now on www.partnershipforgrowth.ca.

“The Interim Development Strategy is an important milestone in the P4G Regional Plan process. The Interim Development Strategy was completed to respond to development pressures by creating a process to allow some development to proceed while the Regional Plan is being developed,” says Alex Fallon, Chair of the Regional Oversight Committee.

Fallon, who is also President and CEO of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority, says “the Interim Development Strategy identifies development projects of joint interest to the P4G municipalities and highlights how projects can proceed at the same time the P4G Regional Plan is being developed.”

Information about the Interim Development Strategy will also be available at the upcoming Regional Plan public open houses on June 2 and 3, 2015.

Fallon adds, “The Regional Plan, which is expected to be completed by mid-2016, will consist of plans for land use, transportation, infrastructure, and servicing.  It will also outline the strategies needed for implementation and propose new governance and administrative structures for the region.“

“The goal of the Regional Plan is to ensure each of the five partnering municipalities can benefit from growth opportunities, increase efficiencies, and reduce costs by working together.”
