Open house scheduled to discuss Downtown Revitalization Plan

A Town of La Ronge come and go open house is scheduled for March 15 to share details on the progress so far on the Downtown Revitalization Plan.

“The Downtown Revitalization Steering Committee is a committee [that] … met on several occasions during the last several months meeting with both myself and the project consultants, as well as on their own, to review the various information that’s been produced as part of the steps associated with the overall project,” said deputy chief administrative officer Jeff Long.

“That’s all in an effort to produce, ultimately, a Downtown Revitalization Plan the town can use to guide itself in terms of making improvements and changes to help to enhance and revitalize our downtown area, draw in new businesses, create aesthetic improvements, things of this nature.”

The open house, which will be held at the Mel Hegland Uniplex from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., will include the release of results from the public survey distributed last fall, information on the downtown revitalization planning process, as well as the draft vision, plan priorities, and preliminary strategies for revitalizing the downtown area.
