EMC News - Colborne Phase two of a working strategic plan to revitalize the retail sector in Cramahe Township got the go-ahead from municipal council last week. While some of the initiatives included in the first phase of the project have been completed, or are well under way, there is still work to be done. Leading the list is the formation of a local Business Improvement Area (BIA). “Local businesses and commercial/industrial property owners must lead the BIA formation initiative,” says Adrian Heaps of AAH Consulting in his phase one report. “A steering committee of local stakeholders is required to define the geographic area of the BIA and ensure inclusiveness by consulting with all local business tenants and property owners.” As well, Heaps points to

rezoning opportunities to assist in downtown development. “Concurrent with the process to form a BIA, it is recommended that a comprehensive rezoning process be undertaken to accommodate the development vision for Cramahe’s downtown,” he said in the report. “Based on industrial, commercial, institutional and residential criteria, the entire area would be looked at in terms of what rezoning structuring is required to meet the development needs of the area.” Although Mayor Marc Coombs said he plans to apply to the Community Futures Development Corporation for the $18,000 to complete the project, which would run from September 1 to the end of the year, funding could come from the municipal benefit stabilization fund.

EMC News - Brighton Dozens of family and well wishers attended a dedication ceremony last weekend to honour lifetime resident Rose Ellery as she got her own park, located at the corner of Ontario and Main Streets. “I had an opportunity to chat with Rose the other day,” said Mayor Mark Walas, in his opening address. “We decided on two things: keep it short and maintain that fine line where you’re honouring someone without turning it into a eulogy.”
