A final draft of the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan has been adopted by the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg. Deputy-Mayor Martin Bell says it will now be submitted to the province for approval. He says they have looked at the preliminary copy so they know they're aligned with other municipal units in the province. Bell says the information has been passed onto the budget committee so they can start moving as early as next year. He says there are some certain budget implications.
The intent of the ICSP is to provide strategic direction to the Municipality on identified issues, which can then be recognized and incorporated into the Municipality's Corporate Strategic Plan and into its general operational plans. Bell says the ICSP plan had to be adopted and submitted by March 31st in order to receive the gas tax funds.
