The City of Kenora is going to move ahead with a Community Improvement Plan for the Abitibi properties on 9th Street North.
Council passed a resolution last week approving a change to the official plan.
Councillor Rory McMillan says the intent of the Improvement Plan is to encourage development on the property.
There is still a 21 day appeal period for the Community Improvement Plan.
McMillan says the change to the official plan will go into effect once that appeal period is over.
