Survey Launched for Wawa Downtown Community Improvement Plan

The Municipality of Wawa's looking to "bring Broadway back to beautiful" - and wants input to help.

Supported by funding from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs, the Municipality's launched efforts to develop a new Community Improvement Plan, which Economic Development Assistant Jessie Labonte explains is a tool used to revitalize parts of a community through programs, grants, or incentives - a process that has been done in Wawa before.

Labonte notes the process involves a background review, which started with the contractors walking through the downtown with some locals - followed by a vision session - and is now continuing with a survey.

Labonte adds there's an incentive: those who fill out the survey are entered into a draw, with $150, $100, and $50 prizes.

Those interested can go to surveymonkey.com/r/wawacipcommunitysurvey - the link can be found on the Municipal website - or get a paper copy from the Municipal Office, the Community Centre, the library, or the Wawa Goose Senior Centre.
