The Summerside Planning Board and the Summerside City Council will hold a public meeting on March 17, 2026, to discuss new building projects and land-use changes in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. The session is set to start at 5:30 PM and is open to all residents who want to learn how upcoming developments could affect their neighbourhoods.

The planning board acts as an advisory group that evaluates applications for new buildings and changes to how land is used. After reviewing the details of a proposal, the board makes a recommendation, but the city council has the final authority to approve or refuse a project.

Specific details about the projects being reviewed are typically shared with the public on the Friday before the meeting. Residents can find these meeting packages online, though the list of topics can be updated right up until the start of the meeting.

This session is part of the city’s regular monthly schedule to manage growth and address the need for more housing in the area. It provides a way for community members to stay informed about local changes and offer their thoughts on how the city grows.
