Prince Edward County has issued the following statement this week.
The County of Prince Edward is hosting several in-person meetings to gather input and feedback on various park improvement projects.
 
Westfall Park Improvements
Monday July 22, 6 pm – 8 pm at Westfall Park
(2525 County Road 64 off Highway 33, Carrying Place)
 
Consecon Park Improvements
Monday July 29, 6 pm – 8 pm at Consecon Park
(25 Porter Street, Consecon)The municipality is accepting input from residents on how the municipality could enhance recreational opportunities and create a more vibrant community. The public can provide their ideas on how the municipality should spend funds that have been allocated to parks and open green spaces in the 2024 budget.

Recent provincial legislation requires municipalities to spend a certain portion of funds in their Parkland Reserve by the end of the year. The funds in this reserve come from developers who provide cash instead of dedicating parkland to the municipality. Municipalities are required to spend those funds in the same geographic area as the development.

The municipality has allotted a specific amount of money for 10 parkland projects across Prince Edward County. The public can share their ideas about the types of amenities or park features they would like the municipality to consider when spending this money. Visit the Have Your Say online consultation website to learn more about all 10 projects and offer your input and ideas.

For more information, contact the County of Prince Edward at 613.476.2148 ext. 1023, 613.962.9108 ext. 1023, or email info@pecounty.on.ca.
