The Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a collection of policies that act as an overall "blueprint” for future land use and physical changes in Clearwater County. It provides a long-term vision of the type of community that County residents and ratepayers desire. From there, policies focus on topics such as land use, protecting the natural environment, economic development, infrastructure, and community amenities and services provide direction on how to reach the vision.
Clearwater County Council granted first reading of the updated draft MDP Bylaw 1132/22 at their December 20, 2022 Regular Council Meeting. This updated draft MDP was drafted over the course of two years of public engagement, and it builds on multiple other studies, strategies and plans completed by Administration over the past several years. This updated draft version being presented for Council's consideration will replace the existing MDP that was adopted in 2010.
