The Growth Management Study Mystery

Where is the Growth Management Study?

 
Cranbrook’s Growth Management Study was originally budgeted for in 2007.

From what we have been told repeatedly since December of 2009 (post East Hill Referendum), the Growth Management Study (for which the City has or will pay $450,000.00), has been returned to the Consultants because the City staff were not satisfied with it. At that time we were led to believe the study would be released by the summer of 2010. When asked at the Brown Bag Lunch of April 28th if there would be an extra cost to this, Mayor Scott Manjak indicated he hoped the consultant company would not have the audacity to charge more. No release time for the study was available yet.

When asked again at the Brown bag Lunch of June 1st about a release date for the study, none was available. Mayor Manjak assured the public they would be shown the final copy of the study when it is available.

As of June 29th Mayor’s Brown Bag Lunch we have been advised this long awaited study should be available to the public by July or August.
