Growing Greenwich



About the Project
The Municipality of the County of Kings has conducted community conversation about the future of Greenwich. As more people move to the area, we want to look at whether Greenwich could be a good place for more homes and businesses. We also want to make sure we protect what makes Greenwich special — like its farmland, local character, and existing services.

Background
Greenwich has a rich history as a lively and unique community, with a mix of homes, farms, and businesses. Over the years, it has grown a lot and now has many features that are common in areas planned for growth—like central water and sewer services, sidewalks and trails, and different types of housing.

Lately, more people have shown interest in building homes and mixed-use spaces in Greenwich. Because of this, the Municipality has been looking at different ways to plan for the future of the area. These ideas focus on:

  • Creating a compact, walkable, and lively community
  • Protecting farmland
  • Making the best use of existing services and infrastructure
  • Avoiding scattered or inefficient development

Now, Council is thinking about whether the planning rules for Greenwich need to be updated to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. This project has collected community feedback to guide those decisions and make sure any changes reflect what people want for their community.

Why It Matters
Planning for the future isn’t just about where buildings go—it’s about understanding what matters most to the people who live and work in a community. This process is important because it will:

  • Make sure any future development fits the needs and values of the community
  • Help the Municipality figure out if—and where—future growth makes sense
  • Guide long-term decisions about roads, services, and land use
  • Give residents and others a chance to share their ideas, questions, and concerns
  • Find the right balance between building new homes and protecting farmland and local character

This is a chance for everyone to explore options together and help shape the future of Greenwich.

Your thoughts and experiences will be key to this conversation.

Get Involved:

Over the next few months, there will be lots of ways for you to share your ideas, ask questions, and give feedback. We’re planning several activities, so everyone has a chance to be part of the conversation.

Phase 1
Phase 1 is now complete and a summary of what was heard through the community workshop and survey can be found here.

Phase 2
Phase 2 is now complete and summary of what was heard through the community workshop and survey can be found here.

Phase 3
Phase 3 involves presenting potential amendments to the Municipality’s planning documents to the public for review and comment. Materials will be posted in early September for review and a community consultation is scheduled for September 17th, 2025 at 7 pm at the Greenwich Fire Hall.

What’s coming up:

  • Final sessions to check in and ask, "Did we get it right?" – September 17th, 2025
  • Staff Report and Recommendation to Planning Advisory Committee – TBD
  • Public Participation Meeting (if necessary)
