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.
