On the Official Plan

Both parcels on the approved land use schedule

Schedule A of the new Official Plan places the 88.5 acres in the Strategic Growth Secondary Plan Area, at the western edge of the urban area between County Road 1 and the CN line. The 18.3 acres is in the General Commercial designation along Highway 401.

For developers, builders and investors

The groundwork is done. The plan is next.

The steps that usually hold growth land back for years are already behind these parcels. Here is where they stand.

Designations settled
The County’s growth framework took effect in August 2026 and the Town’s Official Plan was approved on October 21. Under the current Planning Act, neither is open to third-party appeal.
Already inside the urban boundary
Both parcels sit within Napanee’s settlement area today. No boundary expansion or annexation stands between them and secondary planning.
Sewer capacity under construction
The $88M wastewater plant expansion is being built now. When it opens in 2028 it is estimated to add capacity for up to 4,000 homes and businesses.
Arterial roads defined
A completed Environmental Assessment fixes the arterial network through the growth lands, including a new County road with a CN rail overpass and a creek bridge.
Little competing supply
The plan directs future growth to two designated areas, and most of that land is closely held. No other holding of this size in them is on the market.
A voice in the secondary plan
The secondary plan sets land uses, densities and local streets. Owners in place when it begins take part in shaping it.
Still ahead: secondary planning, rezoning and servicing allocation, before development can proceed.

The setting

The Town of Greater Napanee

A historic river town on Ontario’s busiest corridor.

Greater Napanee pairs small-town character with direct access to Highway 401. The historic downtown sits at the falls of the Napanee River, the Bay of Quinte is minutes away, and Kingston and Belleville are each within an easy commute.

In 2026 the Province approved the County’s growth framework to 2051, and the Town’s new Official Plan placed future growth on a short list of designated lands, these parcels among them. Goodyear is investing $575 million in its Napanee plant, announced in town with the Prime Minister and the Premier. An $88-million wastewater expansion is under construction, and a 545-home master-planned community is under way.
