EMC News - Norwood - Things have been busy on the economic development front in Asphodel-Norwood, says new CAO Joe van Koeverden. “We’ve had a busy time,� van Koeverden said while reviewing with council the 2013 and 2014 implementation charts he has developed for the township’s draft strategic plan. A key part of the economic development strategy is “rebranding� the township by upgrading and enhancing the municipality’s web site and bringing to publication a new brochure modelled after the successful information brochure Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has issued on a yearly basis. The last time Asphodel-Norwood updated its brochure was in 2008. The brochure is expected to be ready for distribution by September and van Please see “Busy� on page 2

EMC News - Campbellford - More issues need to be resolved and questions answered before Northumberland County’s steering committee will be able to choose which of two river crossing options it prefers. Don Drackley, senior associate with the IBI Group, led off the committee’s June 28 meeting by declaring his ďŹ rm’s support for twinning the existing bridge rather than building a new structure connecting Alma and Second streets. However, by the time the session ended, he had been persuaded to withdraw that endorsement because of various points raised by committee members, in particular Trent Hills council members and staff, led by Mayor Hector Macmillan. “There’s a number of issues that now have to be added to the evaluation,â€? he said, when

asked why. Drackley said the shift in thinking is “common� when conducting an environmental assessment. “It’s allowed to go back and forth, in order to make sure that, by the time you get to the end, you’ve considered everything,� he said. “This is healthy. I would have been very worried if we hadn’t had this degree of commenting and questioning from the committee, because the issues here are so important.� As a result the project’s schedule has been pushed back about two months. “We were planning on holding a public meeting September and now it will likely be in November,� Drackley said. A recommendation from the committee to county council is now not expected until the end of the year, possibly in January, he said.
