6:00pm at Academy Hill School Cafeteria
Town residents and business owners are urged to participate in this important community development project!
The Town of Wiltonand a professional consultant team lead by Wright-Pierce are holding a Public Workshop on the development of a Wilton Downtown Revitalization Plan. Over the next several months, the consultant team will be working with the community to develop ideas, prioritize needs and improvements, and outline economic development strategies for the Downtown. The Downtown Revitalization Plan is funded through a Maine Department of Economic Development Community Block Grant.
During the month of November, surveys were mailed to residents and businesses in the town of Wiltonseeking input on such items as the kinds of businesses and services people would like to see downtown, and whether items such as sidewalk improvements, streetscape amenities, improvements to downtown buildings and properties are important. The return response rate to the surveys was positive and results of the survey will be given at this workshop.
The purpose of this public workshop will be to confirm what the consultant team has learned so far about what citizens and business owners see as both needs and opportunities for the downtown, and what they would like to see for improvements to the downtown. The workshop will feature an informational presentation, results of the survey, and activities to gain feedback from workshop participants. Light refreshments will be provided. This will be the first of two public meetings regarding the Downtown Plan.
Note: This meeting will be rescheduled for January in the event of inclement weather.
