Thunder Bay is asking for feedback on the next phase of the city’s waterfront redevelopment at Pool 6.
The property presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to develop Thunder Bay’s waterfront, building on Prince Arthur’s Landing and is identified as a priority in the new Smart Growth Action Plan.
“Developing Pool 6 will be a game-changer for Thunder Bay,” said Joel DePeuter, director of development services. “With this project, we have the chance to build a world-class waterfront destination for residents and visitors – while boosting the local economy and tax base.”
Staff is currently reviewing four potential development plans that feature amenities like multi-use trails, an urban beach and public pavilion, boathouse and dock, commercial storefront space, and the proposed Science North centre. The scenarios also envision potential development options including a market, Nordic spa, hotel and convention centre, water park, and multi-residential development.
An online survey was launched Feb. 17 and an open house will be held Sun., March 1. Visit thunderbay.ca/getinvolved for more information.
