The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has prepared a regional growth strategy (RGS).The RGS will provide an overall vision for the valley and establish economic, social and environmental objectives that will promote a healthy and sustainable region.
The region’s lifestyle opportunities and high quality of life have long attracted people to the Comox Valley and the CVRD is anticipating considerable growth over the next 20 years. A unified approach from all levels of government will ensure that we achieve the future we all want. The RGS is a “made in the Comox Valley” plan for sustainable growth management that recognizes our unique nature, people and resources.
The CVRD established the following key elements for the regional growth strategy:
• provide a vision statement on the future of the region over a 20 year time frame;
• develop population and employment projections for the region;
• identify actions to be taken in relation to specific issues: housing, transportation, regional district services, parks and natural areas, economic development, public health and safety;
• identify strategies for green house gas reductions.
|
The regional growth strategy will provide a process for making choices for a sustainable future, which preserves the region’s high quality of life. It will be a tremendous benefit for all present and future citizens of the region. |
The RGS has been created over a two-year period (2008 – 2010) with an approved RGS policy document to be adopted by December 31, 2010. A consultant team consisting of Urban Strategies, EcoPlan and Ear to the Ground Planning has been hired by the CVRD to prepare the RGS.
