HILLCREST STREET DEVELOPMENT

INDUSTRIAL / COMMERCIAL
The marina could be developed to bring in more small crafts, and the property adjacent see commerical development. Revive Lower Railway St - this used to be a major public area for community gatherings, picnics and commercial activity. It has the potential of being a hotbed of activity off the main drag. Development could utilize proximity/ connection to minewater geothermal to promote investment/development in clean energy technology businesses Strathlorn Nursery is a large area of potential development as a resource for biomass, development of biofuels and hub for local food networks Maple St. extension boasts service ready lots for development. This could be zoned for light industrial - in close proximity to allow pedestrian commuting, and yet a fair distance away from schools, commercial and residential zones.

SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORKS

Social support networks are what increase the quality of living for residents, and deciding factor for families when they make decisions about where to settle their families. What are the schools like? Are there childcare options available? What services are available for an emergency? In addition to sports activities, programs during and after school to engage students with the natural environment are a way to educate them while beuatifying the natural landscape in the community, and supervision for parents of two income households. The proposed Inverness Community Leadership Centre will be a centrally located hub for family services and integrated programming. There are greater opportunities in the Health Care field to not only ensure essential services, but specialization in niche areas to create new jobs in practice and research. Pathways
