Rutland residents are being asked to bring their ideas for the future of the community to an open house Tuesday night.

Uptown Rutland Business Association is hosting the forum along with Reframe Concepts. Reframe is looking for input on a multi-purpose development opportunity it’s exploring on behalf of a social purpose landowner.

“We understand that this development has the potential to impact our neighbourhood in a positive way,” says a notice about the event that was issued by URBA.

Few other details have been released because the project is still in the conceptual stage.

Castanet spoke to Karen Beaubier, the executive director of URBA, but she did not name the social purpose landowner behind the project.

“They want to hear the community’s ideas rather than having them tell the community what’s coming at them,” Beaubier said.

She said it is not supportive housing and the City of Kelowna is not involved.

Reframe Concepts wants to give residents the opportunity for open dialogue and to share their hopes, dreams, worries and fears for the neighbourhood.

The forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday (Jan. 31) at Haus+Home Interior Design, which is located at 155 Asher Rd.
