The City of Saint John is embarking on a major initiative to guide the future of one of its most vibrant communities and wants to hear from you. The new North End Plan, a key part of the city’s broader 2023–2032 Strategic Plan, will create a roadmap for development, revitalization, and sustainable growth in the area.

According to an official notice from the City of Saint John, this secondary plan is designed to shape the neighborhood’s development for years to come.

What the Plan Aims to Achieve

The project focuses on creating a thriving future for the North End by concentrating on several core community goals. The city has outlined these key objectives:

• Urban neighbourhood revitalization: Breathing new life into existing community spaces.
• Smart growth and greenfield design: Planning for thoughtful expansion and development.
• Infill development and sustainability: Encouraging new construction on vacant or underused lots within the neighborhood to promote a sustainable community.
