Downtown revitalization starts with a dynamic plan and community engagement

When a municipality commits to downtown revitalization, the pivotal place to start is with a visionary and well-informed plan. That’s where the City of Welland finds itself and that’s exactly what we’re doing. Consultants have been chosen, community engagement will soon commence, and a downtown-focussed improvement plan will take shape.

Grant Munday, the City’s director of planning and development services, discusses the what, why, and how of updating the Downtown Community Improvement Plan, the economic significance of downtown revitalization, and how critical a component public consultation and engagement will be throughout this phased endeavour.
