Interim Control By-law Remains in Effect in the Knowlton Village Core

The Town of Brome Lake announces that the interim control by-law (ICBL), adopted in October 2025, will remain in effect for the village core of the Knowlton sector.

It will remain in effet until the new urban planning by-laws come into force, which is expected to occur between the end of 2027 and the beginning of 2028.

A recent amendment to the ICBL now allows certain commercial projects to proceed, provided they comply with the applicable regulations.

This measure is intended to foster the vitality of the village core’s commercial sector while ensuring that future projects align with the planning vision developed as part of the review of the Town's Planning Program.
