The Town of Canton will host a public informational meeting on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011 at the Community Center, 40 Dyer Avenue, Room F at 7 p.m. to share the draft master plan and to obtain input from the public on the master planning project.
The Town of Canton has received a grant from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental protection to develop a master plan for the Upper Collinsville Mill Pond (Farmington River) and adjacent shoreline areas. The master plan will provide a plan to restore the recreational, aesthetic, economic,
historical, and ecological values of the Upper Collinsville Mill Pond including a feasibility study for the potential removal and disposal of sediments from the impoundment to restore depths in shallow areas to the extent necessary to enhance recreation and aesthetics. The master plan will
address preservation and enhancement of the Upper Mill Pond area for public access, hiking, swimming, and fishing, ADA compliance, canoeing, and kayaking. Finally, the plan will also address emerging land and river use issues identified during the planning process.
