expansion complements ongoing residential growth while alleviating pressure on existing infrastructure in the Town center. Looking ahead, LaSalle continues working with developers to balance economic growth with community character. THE ROAD AHEAD: GROWTH WITH CHARACTER LaSalle stands at an exciting crossroads, balancing ambitious development with the preservation of its cherished community identity. The Town’s 25–30-year waterfront revitalization continues its steady progress, while the $14 million DMAFfunded stormwater upgrades prepare the ground for transformation in the Howard Bouffard area. “It’s a work in progress,” acknowledges Beggs, “it really boils down to effective communication and consultation at the outset.” The coming years will see critical milestones: finalizing plans to unlock housing in Howard Bouffard, completing the waterfront’s multi-use trail system, and welcoming the first phase of the Shoppes at Heritage commercial development. 127 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 05 LASALLE, ON
