The actions required to implement the Plan are contained in the policies, and will require amendment of the development bylaw. The plan will establish trends and guide development in Borden-Carleton in the coming years. While it has received extensive review and is considered the most appropriate document for the future, nevertheless, deficiencies will be found. As a result, it should be monitored and reviewed to evaluate its effectiveness in attaining its goals and objectives.
