The Municipality of North Middlesex undertook the preparation of this Community Improvement Plan (CIP) between Fall 2020 to Spring 2021 with the goal of creating a toolbox to support economic development and provide direction for municipal community improvement projects. While the Municipality had previously implemented programs and policies associated with community improvement, this document is the first official CIP in North Middlesex. Building on the roots of the Façade Improvement Program (2018) and Community Development Fund Policy (2019), this Plan will allow the Municipality to provide more opportunities to incentivize economic development across a range of sectors; reinforce a culture of strong municipal leadership; and assist with improvements to the public/private realms in strategic areas of the community.

This Plan also represents the collective vision for community improvement in North Middlesex, established through the collaborative efforts of Council, Staff, local business community, and the general public.
