The public is being invited to discuss the next steps in the renewal of the Grand Trunk site in Stratford.
The City of Stratford’s Ad Hoc Grand Trunk Renewal Committee is set to host a series of community events to engage with residents and "start a dialogue on refreshing the vision and guiding principles" for the 18-acre city-owned downtown site.
The first event is planned for March 26, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Hall A at the Stratford Rotary Complex, 353 McCarthy Rd. West.
"It will be an opportunity to learn about the history of the site, where we are today and the process and work to date of the Grand Trunk Ad Hoc Committee," the city said in a news release.
The second event is scheduled for April 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the City Hall Auditorium.
This dialogue will include a panel of speakers who have been involved in "significant and impactful" urban revitalization projects from places such as downtown Guelph, Niagara Falls’ new Exchange project and Kitchener’s Tannery and Breithaupt Block, the city said.
Further details about the dialogues, along with links to register, are available on Engage Stratford at http://engagestratford.ca/grand-trunk-renewal
