2018 Re-cap
2018 was a very exciting year for the Economic Development Team, and you can find a complete 2018 wrap up
HERE in our latest newsletter. We are particularly excited about two recent developments:
Riverwalk
The landscape architects from GPI are now hard at work at producing a design plan for the next phase of the Riverwalk, and will have the draft set of plans in January. This will be followed by a public presentation in February, so stay tuned for further details.
Tourist Train
We have filed a Letter of Interest (LOI) with the Private/Public Partnership oversight Committee (P3) in Concord and await their decision on the train. If favorable, they would hand the project to DOT for competitive bid.
We're always looking for motivated volunteers to help with our 32 projects. Whether you want to help bring back the tourist train, identify potential new businesses, do pop-up prototypes to test new ideas or any of the other areas we are working on, you can end an email to
[email protected] with your interest.
