Why is the site being redeveloped?

Through public engagement completed as part of the Downtown Master Plan, the community identified this property as a key opportunity site and expressed support for redevelopment that would contribute to housing, vibrancy, and year-round activity in the downtown.

The Town’s facilitation of the redevelopment of this site:

• Helps address local housing needs, including affordable housing;
• Maximizes the use of vacant and underutilized land in a prime downtown location;
• Supports downtown vibrancy and increased foot traffic;
• Expands the municipal tax base over time; and
• Leverages private and non-profit investment for community benefit.

The project aligns with Council’s strategic priorities and reflects feedback received from residents and stakeholders during the Downtown Master Plan engagement process.
