Downtown Revitalization

Transforming Stouffville’s Main St. as Part of the Downtown Revitalization Project

Recognized as the heart of the community, this historic area serves as a central meeting place and shopping destination for both residents and visitors. The Town’s Official Plan emphasizes maintaining this vibrant hub as the primary focal point of the community, and the Downtown Revitalization project is making that vision a reality.

Why Downtowns Matter

Downtowns are more than just geographic locations; they are commercial and cultural hubs that drive economic activity, create jobs, and foster a strong sense of identity. A dynamic and inviting downtown attracts businesses, residents, and visitors, enriching the area’s cultural life and fiscal health.

Downtown Revitalization Open House – June 17

Join us for the next Stouffville Downtown Revitalization Open House on Tuesday, June 17 from 7 to 9 PM at 19 on the Park.

This session will be a drop-in style event, featuring display boards of the preliminary design that you can browse at your own pace.

Meet the project team, ask questions, and share your feedback to help shape a downtown that reflects the needs of our entire community.

The display boards will be posted on this page after the open house.

Background

The Town hired Accardi Engineering Group Ltd to lead the downtown redesign that will create a walkable, distinctive downtown with social gathering points, renew streetscapes and underground infrastructure, improve accessibility, and include sustainable, green features.

The revitalization is divided into two key phases:

1. Phase One: Community consultation, preliminary design, and detailed design.
2. Phase Two: Project construction.

Preliminary design work began in the Fall of 2024, with underground investigations and surveying. Past Public Information Centres (PICs), such as the one in September 2022, and future community engagement opportunities will continue to guide the design. Your feedback is essential throughout this process.
