Every municipality in Canada is required to develop an ICSP if they are to receive direct transfers of federal gas tax revenue. As well as providing a vision for Digby's future, the ICSPs will identify key projects that will promote long-term sustainable growth and prosperity.

The committee that is developing the plan includes members of the town's Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). They are council members Jean Brittain, Brian Manzer, Ron Matsusaki and Mayor Ben Cleveland. The citizen members of PAC are Lori VanTassell and John Nichols. Guiding the ICSP process are 4Site Marketing consultants Chris Miller and Grant Cooke.

For all the details, please visit the NovaNewsNow website. However, please note that the second meeting is scheduled for June 24, and not June 27, as stated in the article.
