City releases Well Inc. analytical documents
As part of the development of Quartier Well Inc. the City of Sherbrooke is releasing analytical documents that were tabled to municipal officials in a workshop on December 11.
Documents and fact sheets began being posted on the City's website as early as Tuesday morning. In addition, a public information session will also be held on January 30 to take stock of major areas of the revitalization project. After City Council approval, consultation meetings could also be held from March 20-29 in all boroughs.
"A lot of information has recently been released about the Quartier Well inc project,” Mayor Steve Lussier says, “I want to bring more transparency to this issue, which is why I asked that information is available to the public so that they can understand the issues and the project as a whole. Over the last few weeks, I have felt that the city council and Sherbrookers agree on the importance of revitalizing the Wellington South area."
The Mayor has also appointed a political committee on the revitalization of downtown. "The revitalization of the downtown area is an important issue for the coming years,” he says. ”To ensure political follow-up on this issue, I have appointed a committee that will ensure consistency between the overall vision of downtown revitalization, investments allocated, and projects currently under planning and construction, such as Well Inc."
The committee will be co-chaired by Chantal L'esperance and Annie Godbout
and includes Nicole Bergeron,. Danielle Berthold, Paul Gingues,. Rémi Demers, Claude Charron, and the mayor. Depending on the issues involved, the committee will work with the downtown development community, economic community and institutional partners, as well as other sectoral political committees, such as that for culture, and the City’s administrative personnel.
Studies estimate that the Well Inc. project will create more than 1,500 jobs in the neighborhood as well as 132 new dwellings and consumer spending by new workers and residents will also have a positive impact on the economic vitality of the sector and the financial health of the City.
Other development targets have been set for the development of Quartier Well inc. in terms of initiating environmental measures, promoting economic diversity, encouraging cultural activities and facilities, and active mobility.
Those wishing to comment or ask questions about the Quartier Well inc. development can do so through the Well Inc. website or at the Well Inc. office, located at 36 Wellington Street South, Suite 200, to meet with Philippe Cadieux., who will be present every evening from January 16 to 19, from 3 to 7 pm, and on Wednesday, January 17, in the afternoon at the Well Inc. office.
