100% of survey complete.
The Town of Kentville has begun its review of the documents that guide the development of our Town. These documents include the Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) which is a statement of Council’s polices for growth and development of the town. The MPS consists of policies, text and maps and is supported by the Land Use Bylaw which establishes zones, permitted uses for each zone and development standards (zoning) and the Subdivision Bylaw which provides regulations for the subdivision of land and municipal infrastructure standards. The review is called “Envision Kentville”, planning for tomorrow today.

As part of the consultation residents are asked to talk about the issues and prospects for Kentville. The goal of the consultation is to let all Kentville residents share their knowledge, and desires for how the Town develops. “Envision Kentville”, planning for tomorrow today will set the policies and priorities that will influence the future of the Town for years to come.
