Andrew Merrill, Director of Development Services, will speak to the City of Coquitlam’s COVID-19 Community Support and Recovery Plan (CSPR) to foster community resilience and recovery. Coquitlam’s CSRP is a multi-phased local recovery strategy led by the City and made up of different programs and initiatives to provide support to residents, businesses, and non-profits.
     
    Afterwards Andrew will focus on the Coquitlam’s new City Center Area Plan as the City is looking at creating higher densities, mixed-use, and pedestrian friendly space in its downtown area.
