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.

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.
