Comox Valley Regional District on Vancouver Island to hold Public Open Houses

Presentation on Comox Valley’s Regional Growth Strategy

A regional growth strategy and a regional water strategy was mandated when the former Comox Strathcona Regional District on Vancouver Island was restructured into two new entities being the new Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD).

The regional grown strategy (RGS) for Vancouver Island’s Comox Valley, is being created over a two-year period from 2008 to 2010, with an approved RGS policy document to be adopted by December 31, 2010. In July 2008 all four Comox Valley local governments entered into a memorandum of understanding to provide interim management of planning and development initiatives until the RGS has been adopted in 2010.

The Comox Valley Regional District on Vancouver Island will be holding Public Open Houses for a presentation on the Comox Valley’s Regional Growth Strategy.  Included in these presentations will be an overview of the strategy for managing growth on over the next 25 years together with specific policies that will help to steer growth so that it is sustainable to the Comox Valley.
