The CIP would permit Municipal Council to potentially provide tax assistance, grants or loans to business owners to improve the overall atmosphere of the downtown core, motivating both local and visitor spending in downtown businesses. With support from the Economic Development and Tourism Advisory Committee (EDTAC) and interested community members, there are many opportunities for residents to share ways to bring Broadway back to beautiful!<\/p>\n<p>A downtown tour and visioning workshop took place on October 24, 2023, where the CIP Consultant toured the downtown area between the Lady Dunn Health Centre and United Church with staff and residents, to discuss ways to make the street and areas like the Wawa Goose Nest Market more appealing. The walk was followed by a visioning session with great input from participants.<\/p>\n<p>The next opportunity for input into the downtown beautification is a public survey which launched November 1, 2023. The Downtown CIP Survey may be completed on-line or on paper. Copies are available in the Library, Town Hall and Wawa Goose Club or go on-line at: https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/wawacipcommunitysurvey. Complete a Survey and win a chance at three cash prizes of $150, $100 and $50.
