Lakeshore council has given its stamp of approval to an economic development to be carried out with Tecumseh.
As the two municipalities share a border, an Inter-Municipal Committee was formed in 2019 to investigate ways for the municipalities to partner on initiatives to benefit both communities.
The Tecumseh-Lakeshore Shared Economic Development Strategy focuses on three key areas — Main St. in Tecumseh, southern Lesperance Rd. and the area around Manning Rd. and Amy Croft Dr.
The 153 page document lays out a five year plan for a number cooperative efforts.
With council's approval, the committee will now draft a more thorough operational plan with financial details and time lines — that plan will be brought back to Lakeshore and Tecumseh council at a future date for further discussion.
