The City of Cranbrook is updating its Downtown Plan, which will feed into the development of a Downtown Revitalization Master Plan for Cranbrook.

The Downtown Plan is to be consistent with the direction of council within the Cranbrook Strategic Plan 2020-2024. The Strategic Plan identifies the importance of ensuring adequate downtown parking supply for existing and future businesses, while identifying redevelopment opportunities based on infrastructure capacity.

“The project will be broken down into phases and will include aspects like exploring existing constraints, identifying key outcomes and multiple assessments and analysis including an in-depth analysis of the Mount Baker RV Resort. Throughout the phases of the project there will be opportunities for the public to take part and get involved and provide valuable input to the
project,” the city noted on the project website.

“A successful Downtown Revitalization Master plan will be a document that not only showcases and highlights the incredible amenities the downtown currently has to offer, but it will also be a guidebook for future economic diversification, success, and a magnet for innovative economic growth.”

What is a Master Plan?

This long-term planning document is a conceptual layout that guides future growth and development of downtown. Analysis, recommendations and proposals for the economy, population, housing, transportation land use and community facilities downtown are all included in this dynamic document, the city stated.

The city is also currently recruiting members for the Stakeholder Advisory Group.
