Enhancing the heart of our community

We love our downtown! The Town is dedicated to enriching the downtown to benefit everyone in our community by undertaking significant planning (Our Downtown Plan), infrastructure and streetscape improvement (Main Street Enhancements) projects. Elevating the downtown into a thriving gathering space will help support businesses, develop a greater sense of place, encourage community pride, promote economic growth and improve safety and accessibility for years to come.
