Integrated Community Sustainable Plan (ICSP)

The City of Corner Brook 1994 Municipal Plan & Development Regulations are getting a sustainable overhaul. The Municipal Plan will be replaced by the Integrated Community Sustainable Plan (ICSP) Municipal Plan with comprehensive changes to the Development Regulations. Corner Brook has many initiatives that not only make Corner Brook the hub of Western Newfoundland, but also the catalyst and centre of commerce, government, health care, industry and other development, and therefore sustainability for the western region.
