Downtown Beautification

The next couple of months are going to be very exciting in Downtown Collingwood.  I think you'll find that very quickly over the next few weeks that you will be seeing more and more of the finished product come into view from so many of the construction projects that have been underway for what seems like forever.  Projects that have taken years to plan and execute are all coming to a head just before Canada Day (if everything stays on track).  First plus, the new library is open for business and the building is simply gorgeous both inside and out.  Second plus, the next phase of the Downtown revitilization plan is nearing completion. Third plus, construction on First Street has already shown so many signs of improvement, from the lighting to the new turning lane....we're almost there.  Fourth plus, the Tremont is being re-born, resurrected and restored.  Here's the biggie...the Fifth plus, the Shipyards waterfront promenade will be open for Canada Day.  These are a lot of plusses and I feel lucky to be living here while all of this exciting stuff is going on.  Sure there's lots of politics and controversy anytime there is change.  But at the end of the day, and from a consumer perspective...this is all great news to me!
