A special meeting of Sarnia Council is scheduled this morning.

Council meets at 10am to discuss corporate priorities and strategic planning. Three presentations are planned.

Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership General Manager George Mallay will share with council ideas to increase the attractiveness of the region as a place to invest.

He wants to see passenger rail service restored, high speed internet service increased, a new health sciences complex developed at Lambton College and a heavy haul corridor to ship large fabricated metal and plastic products established within the next three years.

Sarnia's City Manager Margaret Misek-Evans will follow.

She would like to see the city's strategic plan updated starting work in the first quarter of this year. The last plan was adopted in 2008.

Misek-Evans will also provide an update on how the city of Sarnia communicates with residents.
