At a special meeting on Dec. 6, the newly sworn-in Orillia city council gathered to discuss key objectives for the 2018-2022 term.
According to a press release issued by the city, the two main objectives identified during the meeting were downtown waterfront development, and refining operations and infrastructure.
“Reaching consensus and determining our main objectives as a Council early in our term is a great way to hit the ground running,” said Orillia Mayor Steve Clarke. “The redevelopment of the area between our waterfront and downtown is catalytic project for Orillia and will continue to be a top objective as we move forward with the project. Refining and reviewing our operations and how we currently prioritize and invest in the City’s infrastructure is also a top priority.”
