Western Hill Revitalization Study on April 30th

Back in December the city held a public meeting to discuss future development in the Western Hill area. If you haven't been out that way in a while, you haven't missed much in the way of positive growth. Boarded-up buildings. Closed storefronts. It's a few square blocks that looks like half a ghost town.

If you missed that meeting back in December, it looks like you'll have a second chance to get your voice heard and share your opinions on the development of Western Hill. From the press release;

On Thursday, April 30, 2009, the City of St. Catharines is hosting a Public Workshop to review and obtain input on the various possible strategies for future growth in Western Hill. You are invited to participate in this important project.
The City will be assisted by a consulting team led by Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates, in association with Joseph Bogdan Associates Inc. and Dillon Consulting. This session will take place from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm in the Meridian Room at the Seymour-Hannah Sports & Entertainment Centre at 240 St. Paul Street West.

The purpose of the Western Hill Revitalization Study is to provide guidance for the future redevelopment within the area.

If you have any questions about the meeting, or would just like to read the published report on the area, visit the official site for Western Hill Revitalization.
