Thanks to efficiencies in planning and building processes, and years of preparation, Cobourg is meeting Ontario’s housing growth targets at a rapid rate. “We’ve been preparing for this moment in time for close to a decade, and now here we are, being enabled through provincial infrastructure investments to construct the infrastructure that will accelerate the full build out of 9000 homes in the Cobourg East Secondary Plan area,” touts Mayor Cleveland. “We’re looking at a new plan for the community about and a full secondary area of our small town.” At the same time, plans for downtown infrastructure projects, such as the Walton and Monroe Street rehabilitations are also in the works, as well as environmental assessments for expansion of the town’s two wastewater treatment plants. Wills stresses, “we’re very happy to have had some great partners with the province as far as infrastructure goes, and we hope through our asset management planning that it continues, as our existing infrastructure really requires that attention as well.” 7 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 06 COBOURG, ON
