Located in Cochrane’s core, Greystone will be an inviting neighbourhood that combines urban convenience with a small town vibe.
Life in Greystone will feel uniquely Cochrane – rich with amenities, situated downtown, and nestled in the surrounding hills adjacent to the Bow River. The community will include diverse home choices, inviting streetscapes, a community pond, walk and cycle paths connected to the Bow River pathway network, and easily accessible commercial and recreation services including the Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre next door. Greystone will also boast Bow River access, big sky beauty and quick access to both Rocky Mountains recreation and Calgary’s big city amenities, as both are just a stone’s throw away.
Our project team wants to share with you two new videos which answer the most frequently asked questions posed by stakeholders and the people of Cochrane.
On April 21, 2017, the Greystone Area Structure Plan (ASP) and Neighbourhood Plan (NP) applications were submitted to the Town of Cochrane. An ASP outlines high level policies for a site’s redevelopment while a Neighbourhood Plan provides more refined details on the placement of residential, commercial, greenspace and transportation networks. Once the Town’s internal and external review process is complete, the Greystone Project team will be making final amendments to the applications including the concept plan below.
Ongoing stakeholder input has helped us refine key community features, including:
Public input was also sought in naming Greystone. Through community engagement, including an online poll, Greystone was selected as the preferred name for this new community.
The Greystone team would like to thank all those who attended the June 18th Public Hearing, as well as the three previous open houses. We would also like to thank all those who have engaged with us face-to-face and through emails, the project website and our Facebook page.
We have reflected on the Public Hearing and we wish to address some of the comments raised by presenters to provide further clarity with respect to the history, process and anticipated outcomes of the Greystone Project. Please see our official Response and Reflections document.
With consideration to the upcoming Council date of May 28th 2018, we want to give you the opportunity to read the Greystone Area Structure Plan and the Greystone Neighbourhood Plan that will be presented to Council.
